The nuclear industry in PA is asking for at least $500 million a year to bailout their industry. What are the tradeoffs, including the use of nuclear power to lower greenhouse gases?

This may be a crucial time for PA to decide which direction its energy policy goes. Tune in to Planet Philadelphia 4-5 pm Friday 4/5/19 on WGGT-LP 92.9 FM Germantown Community Radio and streaming at gtownradio.com to hear why that is.

Tim Judson is the Executive Director of Nuclear Information and Resource Service

Tim Judson is the Executive Director of Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS), a nonprofit networking hub for people and organizations concerned about nuclear power. In addition he is chair of the Board of Citizens Awareness Network, a leader in the successful campaign to close the Vermont Yankee reactor. He also was co-founder of Alliance for a Green Economy in New York. Tim will talk about his view of the bailout proposal (which has been evolving in an ongoing way) and his thoughts about nuclear power.
