Physicians for Social Responsibility, Nuclear Power and Fracking

A group called Physicians for Social Responsibility is lobbying to shut down the Richland nuclear power plant in Washington state. Tax filings reveal the organization's mission includes opposing nuclear power in favor of "clean" energy. The hosts argue this is a front for the natural gas industry, specifically promoting fracking, which Dvorak suspects is used to dispose of industrial waste under the guise of "trade secret" chemicals.
