The Diablo Canyon Nuke will shut and we are honored to talk about it
with three great players in this amazing success for citizen activism.
Jim
Riccio of Greenpeace USA gives us the perspective of a world-class safe
energy campaigner on the global stage. Linda Seeley of the San Luis
Obispo Mothers for Peace tells us what’s happening on the local level
with one of the most powerful and persistent of all our grassroots
groups. Ace Hoffman fills us in from the backyard of San Onofre, which
he has helped to shut, and whose epic struggles with massive debt and
unmanageable wastes continue unabated.
Together we vet the Diablo
shutdown agreement. We start with PG&E’s admission that all
Diablo’s power can be got from renewable. We explore the landmark deal
that’s been cut with organized labor and we emphasize the reality that
this agreement has been pioneered by environmental groups whose
commitment to a green-powered Earth is unshaken.
For an in-depth
look at the most important step yet taken toward end nuke power and
winning a Solartopian future, don’t miss this show.
