Uptown Chats Episode 28 - US Energy Policy Wrong Direction Mini Series - Nuclear Energy

Listen to WE ACT for Environmental Justice's Uptown Chats podcast! Join hosts Jaron Burke and Lonnie Portis every month as they explore issues in their community through the eyes of everyday people, and discuss how environmental justice is showing up in the news. It’s not just for experts, it’s for everyone!

While the Biden administration has taken steps to advance an equitable transition to renewable energy, there are elements of the U.S. energy policy that are clearly headed in the Wrong Direction. In this episode, Jaron and Lonnie speak with Victoria Leung, Staff Attorney at Riverkeeper, and Richard Webster, former Legal Director at Riverkeeper, about what happens when a nuclear power plant is decommissioned and how it impacts environmental justice communities.

You can find Uptown Chats on here on our YouTube channel, on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or stream directly from Castos. New episodes will be posted on the second and last Mondays of every month.
