À propos de cet audio
In 2016, Kristin Zaitz and Heather Hoff had a realization: nuclear power had a PR problem. Nuclear plants around the world were at risk of premature closure due to public misperceptions, but nuclear provides a large share of the emissions-free electricity we need to transition away from fossil fuels.
On episode 3 of The Climate Challengers, host Andrea Bain hears from Kristin and Heather about their journey from nuclear skeptics to becoming two of the industry’s biggest advocates (1:06 and 4:15), why they co-founded Mothers for Nuclear (7:48), what are the biggest obstacles to changing people’s minds about nuclear (9:46), being a woman in the male-dominated nuclear power industry (14:27), how we should think about accidents like Fukushima (19:21) and the exciting new nuclear technologies under development (25:56).
