Dr. Helen Caldicott and George Monbiot: Nuclear Energy 2-2 Democracy NOW!

Democracy NOW! DN! - Part 2 of 2 - Japan remains in a "state of maximum alert" as the experts scramble to contain radiation that is leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. Nuclear energy remains a controversial topic in climate change discourse, as environmental activists argue how to best reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere—often the debate pits one non-renewable energy against another as renewable energy technology and research remains underfunded. Democracy Now! hosts a debate today about the future of nuclear energy between British journalist George Monbiot and Dr. Helen Caldicott. Monbiot has written extensively about the environmental and health dangers caused by burning coal for energy, and despite the Fukushima catastrophe, stands behind nuclear power. Caldicott is a world-renowned anti-nuclear advocate who has spent decades warning of the medical hazards posed by nuclear technologies, and while agreeing about the dangers of burning coal, insists the best option is to ban nuclear power.

5,000 Russian studies is what George calls "few outlying papers." GEEZ...Hello?!! By the way, I have read the entire Chernobyl Report put out by the NY Academy of Sciences in 2009 (over 31 YouTube files) for those who are blind or would rather listen than read at my YouTube Channel called Deradune. If you go to the channel and click on 1 of 31 then it will automatically open from one to the other in order.

@Deradune

excellent documentary on YouTube done by Russian scientists

Why isn't there a solar panel on every roof? Let me quote from Jim Marrs: "Cuz' the electric company can't figure a way to make a cloud come over your house if you didn't pay your electric bill."

UN is the central NWO system.

There is no global warming. Research. I also thought once that it was true once. Youtube search Conspiracy Theory for simple facts.

Seriously George you FAIL. I'll go to a coal mine while you go to a field with 1 pound of plutonium. Let's see who fails. YOU, or me.

@spiritfired

and to quote comedian Lewis Black "we don't have solar energy because the senate doesn't know where the sun goes when it sets..."

[chondram]

solar would be good, but the wind power fields (although a good idea as well), kills massive flocks of birds continuously. Something would need to be added to wind mills to emit sounds to deter the birds in another direction. Not for nukes...be sure to get update on Fukushima (not from msn)...it is dire! (this report is almost a month old)

[ThisBoyTV]

@chondram

we have plenty of updates on Japan since this was posted

[telemetry9]

looks like george has been having coffee mornings with the atomic energy commission.

This stuff is deadly and has to be stopped - TODAY!!

Fundamentally; people like George are selfish. Until it effects one of his children or someone he loves - they believe that science is God. Well; science has been paid off on this one.

I lived near Hunterston nuclear power plant outside Glasgow - I KNOW the reality. So many in the area have died from cancer. Nuclear Power = broken hearts and broken lives.

[creedstat]

of course they are all in on the conspiracy we can't even get any news updates related to whats happening in Japan ...it's a blackout and anyone involved in this disaster/ conspiracy shoud be sent to live in fukushima with their families .....

[creedstat]

if anyone sees this douche please do the world a favour and feed him a bullet!!

[Tomta20012]

Lets all take a minute and pray that George Monbiot gets cancer and dies.

@spiritfired Thanks for the vid. Yes, she seems to be behind everything! There's so much information on Free Energy that it's hard to know where to start! Many scientists worked on it, like Wilhelm Reich, Nikola Tesla, Viktor Schauberger and many more. There are a dozen different ways Zero Point Energy can be obtained. Even with very simple methods, like hydrodynamics, re Schauberger, or AntiGravity, as with the Nazi's "Bell". Tesla found that the Earth's atmosphere is brimming over with energy!

hi George! i lately heard a NIST examiner doubting that Building 7 came down on 9/11. Have to prove it first! I suppose you agree, as i also presume you have no kids. As long as this George-man gets his paycheck, he'll protect the cover-up. Shame on you!

[spiritfired]

@benthejrporter Really?! Well I didn't actually ever think of it as top secret coz' it's like...so, duh. I don't know how free energy works, I don't know what exactly makes up free energy but it's damn there! Geez. Thanks dude. I'll try to find out free energy on more of my time :)

Here's a vid VERY understandable even without advanced knowledge and she mentioned why nuclear power came to exist. You won't regret it! Nuclear power is "Queenie's" fault :D
