PROTECTING THE VOTE and Shutting DIABLO CANYON & NUKE WASTE light up this hour in Solartopia.
NINA TURNER, Democratic candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, describes the Republican Party's bleak assault on the public's ability to vote, and how Jim Crow is grabbing power with phony charges of voter fraud which essentially does not exist.
Then BILL WALKER of FRIENDS OF THE EARTH updates us on the monumental lawsuit just filed to force DIABLO CANYON to meet earthquake protection specifications. After an insider report warning that Diablo cannot withstand shaking from the many earthquake faults that surround it, "regulators" changed specifications to allow it to continue to operate. FOE's lawsuit will be watched worldwide, & especially by millions of downwind Californians whose lives are immediately threatened.
Finally, DIANE D'ARRIGO of the NUCLEAR INFORMATION & RESOURCE SERVICE describes the upcoming (11/10) event honoring the great MICHAEL MARIOTTE, whose decades of activism have made such a difference in the world of atomic energy. Diane also explains the current state of nuke waste management, including the failure of Yucca Mountain and the disastrous events at NM's Waste Isolation Pilot Project costing millions of dollars and casting a very long shadow on any attempt to deal with atomic power's fiendish residue.

The great DR. HELEN CALDICOTT joins us for a thorough excursion into the insane, life-threatening world of atomic energy.
Since 1971 Helen has been leading the charge to rid the planet of the nuclear power and weapons technologies that threaten all life on Earth. She has studied the impacts of the accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima and has thoroughly documented the biological destruction the atomic power industry continues to do to us all.
Helen also experienced the ultimate hair-rising White House meeting with Ronald Reagan, then in the early stages of Alzheimer's, to discuss the future of nuclear weapons---an epic moment that has impacted us all.
Her new book, CRISIS WITHOUT END (New Press), documents her recent conference on nuclear health impacts just as she is organizing yet another top-level conference on nuclear weaponry, to take place in February.
Hear all about it at this immensely important excursion in the necessary world of a nuke-free Solartopia….

The powerful new book from our guest MARK SCHAPIRO lays out the true costs of a fossil-based economy and what it's doing to our global economy, health and eco-sphere.
Mark is a long-time veteran of the contentious issues surrounding fossil fuels. His unique range of expertise and insight gives him a powerful perspective on what we really confront when we turn that ignition switch or fire up that gas heater. So Mark explains in frightening detail what FRACKING is doing to the Earth and reminds us that those cold, powerful bean-counters at carbon corporate HQ do take the size and political impact of our marches into account.
Speaking to us from Oakland, California, Mark brings decades of deep insight to an industry that affects us all, where price simply doesn't match cost, and where we need to transition really fast to renewable energy if we're going to survive on this planet.

NUKES vs GLOBAL WARMING vs RENEWABLE ENERGY as we investigate how King CONG (Coal, Oil, Nukes & Gas) is doing its best to subvert our Solartopian future.
DAVE KRAFT of Chicago's Nuclear Energy Information Service joins CINDY FOLKERS and KEVIN KAMPS of Beyond Nuclear on a total tour of the myths of thorium reactors and the sorry history of uranium.
We thoroughly explore why atomic power CONTRIBUTES TO GLOBAL WARMING and why the industry is desperately trying to get public subsidies for its dirty old reactors in the name of fighting climate change while it simultaneous wrecks the Earth with tracking.
Don't miss this fascinating, thoroughly informed discussion as we jump through the atomic rabbit hole and emerge with solar panels.
