Shut Down the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (ONE of TWO)
Sept. 30, 2014, 6:01 p.m.
The former Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspector for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Dr. Michael Peck, wrote a statement held secret by the NRC until recently that seismic, tsunami and fire issues at the plant are so serious that Diablo Canyon needs to shut down until they are fixed. The NRC and the owner, Pacific Gas and Electric, disagree in their September 10, 2014, statements. Mark Satorius, the NRCâs executive director for operations said that there were no immediate seismic issues at Diablo Canyon, located on the ocean near San Luis Obispo, California.
Harvey Wasserman discusses with two anti nuclear experts, Rochelle Becker and David Lochbaum, why the plant is operating today. Harvey Wasserman is both an anti nuclear campaigner of 40 plus years and an advocate for a solar future. He says that we must and can build the green powered earth before the next nuclear meltdown. Rochelle Becker is the co-founder of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility and David Lochbaum is an engineer who worked for 17 years in nuclear power plants and now heads the Nuclear Safety Project of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Apocalypse How? - Challenging Catastrophism
Sept. 29, 2014, 8:06 a.m.
Apocalypse How? Climate Change, the Political-Economy of Energy, and Reigniting the Radical Imagination - Panel sizes up the work necessary to reverse climate destruction. Henwood argues that only the State has the power to force the changes necessary; individual acts while not unimportant will not check the neo-liberal
assault on life. Only movement pressure and popular control of the State can break the power of corporate capitial. Francis Fox Piven, historian, reminds us of the popular movements that in the past had such power and the social conditions in which they won their gains. She reminds us that there is power in refusing to cooperate. Henwood speaks about that power inherent in society similarly. While "things" are bad Eddie Yuen sees no advantage in framing the moment, as some do, as hopeless.
