Ep. 11 - Nuclear Energy Revisited Listening Glass: Science, Technology, Philosophy, Culture

Will nuclear power mishaps like Chernobyl and Fukushima bring about an early Armageddon? Or is it our best chance to avoid further climate catastrophe? Arjuna and Robin hash out the bright side and the not so bright side of nuclear energy and look at just how it measures up against other energy source options.Update: We say in the show that 10% of electricity came from the Megatons to Megawatts program.  I fact checked this and sources say "up to 10%", so it probably was quite a bit lower than that for parts of the program's 2 decade life cycle.This episode features music from the following artists (in order of appearance):Mac Woodruff - "Vis Insita"Find Mac Woodruff's music at Bandcamp and on SoundcloudKneebody - "Dr. Beauchef, Penguin Dentist"Find Kneebody at https://www.kneebody.com/ and on SpotifyEero Johannes - "Lipton Service Boy"Find Eero Johannes's music on Soundcloud and SpotifyOur logo was done with help from Megan Brandenburg Design who can be contacted via her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganbrandenburgdesign/Follow us on Twitter to keep updated on our show.Join the ongoing discussion on Discord.Email questions and comments to listeningglasscast@gmail.com.Until next time...
