On this episode of Scheer Intelligence, host Robert Scheer discusses nuclear energy with acclaimed author Thomas Bass. They explore the ongoing disaster at Fukushima, the dangerous illusions of peaceful nuclear energy, and the profound geopolitical and environmental risks that threaten the future. Scheer and Bass uncover the truths behind the nuclear industry and question the promises of “safe and clean” energy in a world on the brink.
