John Schoonover, PhD.
(https://www.greanvillepost.com/2020/11/15/bidens-energy-policy-fantasies-and-reality/)
joins us to discuss the myths and benefits of nuclear power as
cited in his recent article, Biden’s Energy Policy - a Lost
Opportunity. He delves into the deliberate conflation of bombs and
energy by Big Oil in order to de-legitimize nuclear power over the
last five decades. You’re going to need an open mind for this one.
You don’t know what you don’t know… John Schoonover, PhD is a
social critic and geopolitical analyst whose essays are published
in leading progressive sites, including Socialist Planning Beyond
Capitalism, The Greanville Post and others. Schoonover cut his
activist teeth in the Civil Rights and Anti-Vietnam War movements.
The latter earned him 9 years of exile in Canada evading both the
draft and an indictment. Freed of these burdens during the late
seventies, he returned to the US and continued as a socialist
organizer. His PhD in nuclear physics and his socialist outlook led
him to advocate the expanded use of nuclear energy, despite the
growing propaganda war against it. After several decades in France
pursuing a career in computer security, Schoonover returned to the
US, where he is actively organizing for a socialist solution to the
current crisis.
