Auf Wiedersehen, Nuclear Power
The country which first achieved nuclear fission has just become the third (behind Italy and Lithuania) to phase out its entire nuclear fleet. An odd time to do it, when Europe has just cut off Russian gas and the main alternative is to burn more coal. But that's the Green Party for you. Neil and Jonathan discuss the politics of Germany's contentious phaseout with Mark Nelson, energy consultant and nuclear advocate, and its economic consequences.Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.With Mark Nelson.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.In association with Briefcase.News Hosted on Acast.
