Dr. Chris Busby:The Largest Public Health Scandal in History
April 8, 2011, 8:43 a.m.
Dr. Busby talks more about his research into low dose radiation and his work towards an accurate risk model for exposure to radiation.

Nuclear Risks, Real & Perceived: Breakthrough Institute's Jesse Jenkins
April 8, 2011, 8:41 a.m.
The meltdown at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima is enlivening discussions on alternative energy around dinner tables and across debate platforms everywhere. People who call themselvesenvironmentalists tend to agree on the need to curtail human reliance on fossil fuels, including the pervasive use of coal in generating electricity. That same level of consensus cannot be found, however, on the topic of nuclear power. Nuclear energy and environmentalism have traditionally been thought of as incongruous, yet our guest today on Sea Change Radio offers a logic to solve the paradox. Jesse Jenkins, the Director of Energy and Climate Policy at the Breakthrough Institute, a think tank that advocates for innovative solutions to energy and climate challenges, believes that nuclear power ought to be a significant part of a more sustainable energy plan. Listen as Sea Change Radio host Alex Wise asks him about the risks, real and perceived, and how the catastrophe in Japan affects his views on nuclear power.

April 8, 2011, 12:33 a.m.
Excellent speech on the United States empire, with historical background,
held in Auckland, New Zealand 21 March 2011
Original lecture title: US power today: The global hegemon (Sir Douglas Robb Lectures)
Auckland university introductory text:
Iraq and Afghanistan, Japan and South Korea are still occupied - in different ways - by the US and its allies but imperial overstretch is beginning to set in. Nonetheless US politico-military hegemony, while weakened, is still in place. The EU, Australia/New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea remain loyal satraps with occasional voicing of discontent. How long can this last?
