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.

Phil chats nuclear power with Dr. Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen, presidential and vice-presidential nominees of the Libertarian Party. An emphasis on deregulating and deploying nuclear power to solve climate has been a major talking point of America’s third largest political party this election cycle. Could this be the welcome paradigm shift in nuclear politics we have been waiting for?
