POWER STRUGGLE CONTINUES
As a way to take a deeper look into the dimensions of the nuclear issue on a national level that were touched on in POWER STRUGGLE, Free Speech TV asked filmmaker Robbie Leppzer to produce and moderate a four-part online web series called POWER STRUGGLE CONTINUES, originally aired on Facebook Live, which examines topics about nuclear power and questions of environmental justice.
In this series, Robbie Leppzer speaks with national nuclear safety watchdogs, grassroots activists, and representatives of communities directly impacted by the production of nuclear energy.
Topics include the long-term legacy of nuclear waste, current struggles to oppose the siting of “interim” high-level nuclear waste dumps near Native American and Latino communities in New Mexico and west Texas, the impact of uranium mining on indigenous communities, health and safety threats from nuclear reactors worldwide, the economics of nuclear power, and prospects for a green renewable energy future
