Phil and D.J. talk to Dr. Patrick Brown, climate and meteorology scientist and assistant professor at San Jose State University. He has several appearances in the media and has written a number of articles. We talk about the scientific realities of climate change, and also discuss the political divide surrounding the issue, and how to move towards some sort of progress (including the use of nuclear power) on large-scale emissions reduction in America.

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? Created by: Americans for Nuclear Energy
