Episode 22: Saving Diablo Canyon
Phil and Colby sit down with Ryan Pickering, solar industry professional, energy policy researcher, and newly-minted nuclear advocate, about his work in saving Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in California from premature closure. We discuss his move toward nuclear advocacy, energy politics, his actions that helped save Diablo Canyon, powerful antagonistic forces and unexpected allies, environmental justice, and where the pro-nuclear movement goes from here.

Customer Reviews
Learning lots
Appreciate the tone and candor. As someone still learning about nuclear energy, this has been a big help getting a grip on the conversation.
Great podcast for learning the potential of nuclear technology
This podcast has excellent content on learning how nuclear technology is important for the future of humanity. I am very excited by the possibilities of increased speed and lower cost for space travel that can be unlocked by achieving a nuclear rocket. Even more, it is very important that humans solve the problems posed by climate change which I believe can best be addressed by nuclear energy.
This podcast will tell you a lot of the technical information that you need to understand to counter the incorrect ideas about nuclear energy that are floating around in our culture.
