Nuclear Power 2.0: When will we learn? with Kevin Kamps
The demand for power for AI and cryptocurrency operations is re-igniting the debate over nuclear power.
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug discuss PFAS from pharmaceuticals in drinking water, the toxic air in parts of Texas, and Exxon’s unhappiness with California’s claim that plastic is not actually recyclable. Then Kevin Kamps from Beyond Nuclear talks about the push to reactivate old nuclear power plants and build new ones, all to satisfy the power requirements of AI and cryptocurrency companies. Who bears the risk and who gets the benefit?
