Solartopia Green Power & Wellness Hour - 5.2.24

NUKE ATTACK ON SOLARTOPIA; UNCOMMITTED; RESHAPING THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE


We start GREEP zoom #175 with the great LINDA SEELEY from the Mothers for Peace of San Luis Obispo explaining the latest hearing on shutting the Diablo Canyon nukes.

Linda explains that the extreme heat, pressure and radiation inside a nuclear reactor have embrittled Reactor Pressure Vessels, robbing nukes everywhere of their braking systems…rendering them all vulnerable to the next apocalyptic explosion.

As Linda says, we have far more battery storage in California than Diablo produces….so who needs nukes?  Answer:  NOBODY!!
