understand that a firm on doesn't help to lead the world in getting off rogerson toy and moving toward global energy as fast as possible the planet will be unlivable for organisms like us i used to say let's shut down vermont yankee in 2012 meet the promise that we make sure that energy louisiana cleans up the mass and let's have a governor who's going to move us to a noble energy and move to a sane energy future let's vote for change on november 2nd thank you so much. my petersham. do solemnly swear that i will be true and faithful to the state of vermont tucson leastways there will be true and faithful to the. state of vermont.

federal regulators now say that her mind yankee is fit to be open for another 20 years or gina bowler joins us now with the latest on this gina christine late this afternoon in a conference call the n.r.c. clear regulatory commission and now said they voted to extend for my employees license the n.r.c. says it will formally issue the yankees a new license in a matter of days but under vermont law the public service order and the legislature must also approve a less than 6 tension. when

you're going. on like lot of nuclear emergency a massive new explosion rocks or crippled reactor plant in japan prompting the redistribution radiation catastrophe and a new wave of back you wish you. all of british reactor up in smoke out dangerous radiation leaks can be a point located on a seismic fault. the smoldering disaster zone the latest challenge at the fukushima

daiichi site a fire in the number 4 reactor that's right down here in the area just near the roofs were highly radioactive spent fuel rods are stored this turn for the worse in reactor 4 after a day in which there was some evidence japan might finally be making some small progress as it struggles with the worst nuclear crisis since trolled. let's assess the risk with arnie gundersen he's a nuclear safety advocate who consults with him on state governments about the amount yankee nuclear plant mr gundersen is joining us on the telephone sir based on what you have heard this is reactor number 4 there was a fire there the other day what does that tell you mr gundersen i learned from my sources that the radiation levels in the 4th reactor are so high that they've had to evacuate the personnel from there what that indicates is that the fuel pool is running out of order and if the personnel are not there to keep it refilled it doesn't surprise me that radiation levels are increasing dramatically if the wind

turns and goes the other way. i would suspect contamination not just in japan but potentially korea and china as well how much time do they have before this is catastrophic it can boil dry in a day so they have you know on the order of 24 hours to straighten it out arnie gundersen is a very sober assessment we appreciate your expertise you've had experience building these spent fuel rods checks and we appreciate your expertise tonight i can't say i enjoy what i'm hearing but i'm glad we're getting from someone who knows this so well mr gundersen thank you so much.

i showed angry i felt scared but felt very sad when i heard about the focus. because of the people there who were displaced and because of the contamination of our world environment. those folks had to evacuate and god knows for how long i love this place i love where i live i don't want that to happen here. i don't want to see this beautiful paradise destroyed like that. in the united states there's 23 general electric mark one reactors identical to fukushima daiichi power mine yankee came on line. to fukushima the. you know what. they have the same design. the same reactor

same contractors worked on them and the same flaws and weaknesses. of containment structure designed to hold in all the radioactivity after an accident is too small by $986.00 the nuclear regulatory commission had determined there was an 85 percent probability that the containment would blow up and fail in the event of a meltdown. so much hydrogen gas would be released that the containment would be blown to smithereens and all of the radioactivity inside it would be released to the public. she really showed us 100 percent 3 of. the regulators have known that this design isn't capable of withstanding an accident since it was built . during the middle of the crisis and who perceive it they each one of the key regulators that the n.r.c.

got in chuck casto said this is the worst containment in the world. well if it's the worst containment in the world why are we keeping $23.00 of them running here in america. the actual fukushima dai ichi was caused by an earthquake and a tsunami. but really at the root of it was that the earthquake knocked out the off site power and that the tsunami knocked out the cooling pumps on warming the ocean . that can happen anywhere you can lose offsite power from the storm or from a terrorist action and you can lose the pumps they call the plant from the same exact cause so we don't need a tsunami we don't need an earthquake to cause that kind of a damage in an american nuclear plant.

i'm here because i think this is very dangerous we're facing life on this planet if we don't do something about it. when i heard. i was devastated. i felt i got to. yankee because it's.

more. we would like to believe. i'm not really. done everything that i know to do and all i have left is my body. but. i just say you know. we will be doing. a women a little bit better and. when people asked me how many times have you been arrested and i say not.

the afternoon. today entergy sued the state of vermont in the u.s. district court. energy's lawsuit claims that vermont should have no role in approving vermont yankee speech or after 2012 in the state of vermont i don't think it's too much to say that this is this is an anti-democratic situation you've got a large. wealthy out of state corporation trying to have its way and override the legitimate laws of a sovereign state and it's a it's a power struggle unfortunately for not being its size it's a david versus goliath power struggle but it's one we've got a lot of energy to fight.

it's the 1st day of the trial corporation versus the state of vermont and there are many of us who want to support the state of vermont in that legal battle we believe that corporations are businesses that operate in the state of vermont should be should be falling from on long. at. this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power lie with the people. this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways.

he started at the course but he saw you for good and it's you who bother the no human body. but on the but i was going to do the book on useless all that business and just. instead of. my emotion learning t.m. month ask you if you'll still be stuck with your muscles from your course but your new music is to. use to slow. go chill the church.

compassion that. we think he minds be soldier to kiss off the boots he's wearing. to church so much the sold out so it's a move the apostle opinio was with it and you'll like it i'll be sure stuck with summarizing the police force soon does hold up. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

for it. when it became clear that entergy was going to continue to operate past the end of its 40 year license which came to an end on march 21st 2012. we felt that it was necessary to. take an action that would inspire people in the area not to give up. not to allow themselves to be rolled over by this corporation. we are here to demonstrate in the most dramatic way we can very gross injustice is

being appreciated by this pro corporation the entergy corporation against the people the government of ramadi and the whole surrounding area where all of us are threatened by this reactor as long as it stays open we are calling upon the entergy to respect the democratic process in vermont and to shut this dangerous leaking accident played plant down. there are times when you feel something so strongly that just holding up a picket sign or just attending a rally or demonstration is not enough you want to speak with your whole life whole body and so we are placing ourselves in jeopardy jeopardy of being arrested and possibly jailed in order to make the strongest statement that our conscience is called post.

super. mistake here is life this day cares or future generations the very things that we need to exist clean water clean air the health of our citizens it's all at stake and for what. for right now it's just for corporate profit that's all it is. it's a power struggle about the will of the people to decide what's best for them. it's a political struggle about the basic fabric of our country this about democracy

so this is about whether people's voices are going to be heard. yankee is shutting down nuclear power plants will close by the end of next year of officials from entergy which owns vermont yankee made a surprise announcement this morning. today's an extremely tough day for us of interest and more importantly really 630 employees and from a yankee earlier this morning we told these men and women the vermont yankee nuclear power station will stop operating at the end of its current fuel cycle and

move into the decommissioning process in the 4th quarter of 2014. this decision was based on the economics of the fund not operational performance not litigation risk. nor political pressure simply put the plant costs exceed the plant revenue in this asset is not financially viable for those of us and. it's not good news it's a very sad day. it's sad because we're worried about what's going to have more friends neighbors for the folks who have to move it's going to be painful see them go nuclear plants around the country warmest financial pressures right now they're getting old and everybody knows the cost more to maintain an old car than a dozen new car the same is true for a nuclear plant. all of them are going to require modifications from lessons

learned after fukushima daiichi. sankyo was going to need about $250000000.00 of repair and replacement over the next 2 or 3 years to keep running and entergy didn't want to spend that money. entergy new that from entourage were not going to allow this plant top or a unless it was in top notch condition. and they couldn't afford it so they pulled the plug on for mine yankee for economics but it was economics under the scrutiny of a smart electorate who had kept themselves in form for the last 10 years. the closing of vermont yankee is a victory for democracy. entergy would continue to operate if it wasn't for all the hard work all these people did to make this happen

is a win for david over. people power works we citizens have the ability to affect change. what gives me hope in all of this is that. in some little way our actions are going to inspire others. i. think you know that in my mind there is no way. out people often say to make a wish my grandmother or for her like you know i say get your grandmother did join our benedict group. and you know we did have a victory for egging meant that the whole state i feel fortunate

to still be alive and in relatively good health and a boat you know struggle. you can't do it alone you need kevin unity to do this then you're going to support one another and low fat head together. there's no getting around the fact that the site we're vermont yankee exists on the banks of the connecticut river will remain as a high level nuclear radioactive waste dump endangering people for miles and miles and miles and miles around. in this toxic legacy

of what has been created is not going to disappear and it will affect future generations for a long time to go. this

is a technology that's fundamentally flawed i don't believe we should build a new nuclear power plant ever again and i think we should you know orderly manner shut down every nuclear power plant we've got. beginning with all of these mark one designs that are identical to vermont yankee and identical the fukushima daiichi. then gradually over the next 10 years do it the germans are doing and shut this technology down for it.

what's need to be national will the thought of you know when you've been eating less and that's only see it it was a propagandist you also it's new kind of scene from the regular morgue for your car not going to be moving from our. water source like you would all but us lucifer mistletoe is just that i'm like i don't i'm just i have nobody it is not my achievement mr davies our 5 year plans

were conceived by the indian and carried out by the people themselves if alan would produce or even floor kit with the idea of making a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy. that was the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting nazis that's going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. little people think that hollywood is a free place but only what is strictly. and the other side is. how would i define ali is they call it a tree manufacturer which i think's true but i think equally it's a problem in the fact.

france's much anticipated tracing out pay is used to send just 14 alerts in 3 weeks that is half a 1000000 people from their phone we searched the streets of paris to find somebody . that's no no no no no no no we have to defend america's reputation in europe is a big blow by its handling of the corona virus and you polls suggest that is the u.s. it's an all time high of cases cropping up 14000 alone on thursday and more companies join a boycott on facebook for its failure to remove speech and its reluctance to take down some of donald trump's more controversial posts.
