Solartopia Green Power & Wellness Hour

THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION & ACCELERATING SOLAR POWER are center stage at Harvey Wasserman's Green Power & Wellness Show with RYAN GRIM of Huffington Post and Ken Silverstein of EnergyBiz and Forbes Magazine.  Ryan broke the story of the resignation of NRC Chair Gregory Jazcko this week and attended the infamous hearing in which Jazcko's fellow commissioners accused him of being mean to women.  Ken Silverstein writes a daily story on energy and talks to us about renewables, Google and the booming green energy industry.  Take a listen!

With guests Ryan Grim and Ken Silverstein.

Guerrilla satirist and legendary YIPPIE! co-founder Paul Krassner joins the GREEN POWER & WELLNESS SHOW today from sunny California.  Paul brings his perfectly unique perspectives on the life and great times of a life-long activist/humorist.  Paul is the illegitimate father of THE REALIST, a generation's first truly underground attack on the constipated culture of the Eisenhower 1950s.  Later he named the Youth International Party that would rock the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention.  Now in sunny California, Paul brings with him a half-century of great stories and Earth-changing history, including the wit and wisdom of Mitt Romney (a VERY brief segment of the show).

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF NUCLEAR ENERGY is on Harvey Wasserman's Green Power & Wellness Show on www.progressiveradionetwork.com Tuesday, May 8, 2-3pm EST.  We join the expert Ace Hoffman to talk about California's San Onofre nuclear reactors, currently shut, and the amazing Solartopian victories in Japan, where all reactors are now shut, and France, which has elected a new president many hope will end atomic energy altogether.  Listen in, and call us at 888-874-4888.

PROGRESSIVE VEGANISM AND FASTING (Part 2) fill this Green Power & Wellness Show, as Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Dr. Nathan Gershfeld again join us from True North Health in Santa Rosa, California, to discuss the joys of diet and health.  Harvey has finished his 16-day water fast and is now happily detoxing and re-feeding, having gained back about 8 of the 25 pounds he lost.  Drs. Goldhamer and Gershfeld will detail why fasting can save your health and why a vegan diet can save a small planet being destroyed by industrial meat, overfishing and the lethal triad of sugar, oils and salt.

VEGANS, FASTING & HEALTH will rock today's Green Power & Wellness Show with Harvey Wasserman.  Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Dr. Nathan Gershfeld of the True North Health Clinic will discuss the importance of a diet free from animal products, sugar, oil and salt, and how they treat patients with great vegan cooking.  Broadcast from True North itself, Harvey will break his 16-day water fast just before the show.

THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT will occupy Harvey Wasserman's SOLARTOPIA GREEN POWER & WELLNESS Show, as organizers Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese join us.

OBAMA'S ATOMIC SOLYNDRA and other nuclear follies will be the focus of today's SOLARTOPIA GREEN POWER & WELLNESS SHOW with Harvey Wasserman.  Georgia-based Susan Corbett of the Sierra Club will be with us, as will Michael Mariotte, Executive Director of the Nuclear Information & Resource Service.  We will focus on the national petition drive aimed to stop the $8.33 billion loan guarantee now slated for Georgia's stalled Vogtle double-reactor project, as well as Fukushima and much more.

Stefanie Penn Spear will talk about future energy choices for Ohio and the U.S., and the role renewable energy and energy efficiency can play. She'll discuss how policy and zoning impacts these choices.  Please join Spear as she will provide an overview of the last five years on energy policy on the local, state and federal level, and include insights into what is possible for our nation.

ARRESTED FOR NO NUKES OPPOSITION!!!!…as Rennie Cushing, Nelia Sargent and Kendra Ulrich join HarveyW at the Solartopia Green Power & Wellness Show to tell us about their sit-in at Entergy's New Orleans Headquarters…why they did it, how they were treated and what they are planning next as part of the on-going campaign to shut Vermont Yankee and all other atomic reactors.  Kendra, Nelia and Rennie are part of a long tradition of non-violent protest and their words on our show speak as loud as their actions.  Rennie and Nelia helped found the legendary anti-nuclear Clamshell Alliance, and Rennie also works against the death penalty as explains the mission of Murder Victims' Families for Human Rights, of which he is executive director.  Listen to the whole show anytime at http://prn.fm/shows/environmental-shows/green-power/.
