No To Nuclear on Nuclear Hotseat

Tune in to this week’s edition of Nuclear Hotseat to hear host Libbe HaLevy’s interview with Beyond Nuclear executive director Linda Pentz Gunter discussing her new book — No To Nuclear: Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives, Derails Climate Progress And Provokes War.  (Purchase your copy online by April 8 to receive a 40% off discount!)

In the interview, Linda runs through all the reasons to oppose nuclear power and shows why nuclear power gets in the way of urgent climate crisis mitigation as well as nuclear disarmament. Most importantly, she centers the stories along the uranium fuel chain around the people who endure all the harm and receive none of the so-called benefits, often Indigenous people and communities of color.

She also examines why we continue to pursue technologies that are so clearly harmful, questioning whether we have lost sight of what truly matters — our place in an extraordinary web of life on a miraculous planet. Will we fight to preserve planet Earth if we ignore and dismiss our fellow creatures, nature, and the wonder of space?
