Is nuclear Power an inexpensive, clean source of energy that can produce electric power to meet growing demand, or is it an environmental disaster waiting to happen? The nuclear power discussion is sure to generate a visceral debate with little room for a middle-of-the-road perspective. The US, with over 100 nuclear power plants, has the most operating plants in the world, but the output of all these plants produce less than 20% of the electricity consumed in the States. Compare this with France: 59 operating plants that produce more than 74% of the country's electricity.

This week's edition of Green Sense will explore nuclear power as a green source of energy. Is the pendulum swinging back in favor of nuclear power? Have technological advancements made it safer, cheaper and more reliable? Who opposes nuclear power? Who wins by its use? Hear these answers and more when you tune into Green Sense with Robert Colangelo.
