eighteen thousand miles but when walking jim goes out as walks he doesn't walk on the roads or the highways or the sidewalks he goes where there are none of those things he goes in the wilderness he walks in the deserts in the forests in the or the small they get by so eat some sleep some die so even well i wish everyone could appreciate our earth and all the animals with much as you kids do you know one of the biggest problems facing our animal friends is the loss of habitat yeah habitat  they that people build a road or a house or a mall where these animals live what happens when their homes are disturbed or destroyed yes unfortunately very often they do you see other animals aren't like us they can't get in their car and drive somewhere all still as humans know that's why us humans need to realize that wild things need wild places to live i know you're  you know there's a word for that like it's the word harmony another each word like that word habitat that we've been using use harmony a lot when we talk about music but when things fit together and exist together very easily we call that all kinds of radiation what kind of payback is this the worst nuclear disaster in human history used for a noble the u n sends four thousand people die because that's the i hate nukes people that have japan to the united states and create any health problem whatsoever california republican congressman devin nunez want to see two hundred new reactors belts congress and that's going to be a tough sell these days how do you think it's going to go my hope and my prayer is that everything ends up ok over time the people realize that nuclear power is the way to go no the nuclear industry talks about lower level radiation but let's get that straight the radiation they produce is actually higher level because what happens is you may inhale radioactive guesses or eat food that's contaminat membranes and caused the damage we also critically it's very important the strong should not it has a half life of twenty eight years and little small amounts really add up to a very large amount particularly when these chemicals such as epidemics of cancer epidemics of leukemia epidemics genetic disease how to where the nuclear plants are we are seeing in a marked increase in cancer in not only in children but in the elderly as well one of the most striking areas is pottstown pennsylvania which is a gorgeous part of the country rolling farmland and beautiful homes and we find that since nine eighty one when the limerick plant went online and nine hundred ninety eight that the childhood cancer rate has gone up seventy one percent that's in children between newborns and age fourteen there is a fundamental difference between the whole body and every cell in the body gets the same amount of radiation and since radiation is measured in terms of energy per unit mass but energy is the same for every single cell in the body but if i were to take in a particle which was highly certain amount of heat which warms your body quite pleasantly in the other case the same amount of energy is transferred to your body but is transferred in the form of a single toll which of course burns of in your stomach and kills it if you have a radioactive source and outside your body the thing that's going to be harmful to you most immediately is going to be the radionuclide that's giving off the gamma y because gamma travels farther and it goes through heavier material  goes into water so it's very hard to filter out you can't filter water from water and tritium is hydrogen but it's radioactive hydrogen so you've got the water molecule which is two hydrogen and one oxygen tritium replaces one of those hydrogen so what ends up happening is you actually have not something dissolved in water not something you can filter out not something travelling along with the water but something that is the water that is radioactive we know that the health impacts of global radiation are tangible they are real they have been monitored despite the best the interests of the government and industry to protect them from being monitored probably the ultimate case and the one that stands most clear in the history of our courtship or our play with low level radiation has to do with medical x rays in the one nine hundred fifty s our steward one of the first female medical doctors in great britain very innocently undertook a study on childhood leukemia and she wanted to know what was causing child who came in in great britain and she put a number of variables into the hopper and what came out was medical x rays she came to the definitive conclusion in one thousand nine hundred fifty s that though you do not want to x ray pregnant women dr stuart concluded that the most likely cause of child who came was allowing pregnant women to be x rayed when she rather innocently published her findings the medical profession swooped down on her as if she was some kind of bomb throwing communist and just totally attacked her personally attacked a rep taishan dismissed her findings and for thirty years there was pitch in the towel and said you know we really shouldn't x ray pregnant women and to this day of course not only don't we are pregnant women but now people are careful in the dentist's office and the use of medical x rays is has undergone a revolution that is our first in our definitive encounter with low level radiation there has been an extremely false division made between nuclear power and nuclear accomplished yet of the waste of that water is the waste of a nuclear power is the material there's no law of physics preventing a commercial facility being turned into a weapons facility that separation is in the minds of bureaucrats they have the same nuclear fuel cycle they have the same processing the same mining milling in the richmond that uranium and they share the same waste facilities even the people who run the plants we're talking about exxon nuclear for example that is heavily in of course oil as well as nuclear energy we're talking about the same companies the same individuals that operate now but they're using it all over the place and it's really what we see with you is that all the time whether you have an accident oh no these stations are releasing materials which can go inside your body invisibly and kill you and in fact the increase in cancer in the last fifty years following the weapons fall is a prime example of testing in the atmosphere by the superpower has resulted in the release of the bust all these substances which are killing us and then not only just killing us from cancer but also increase in went up the concept was and this was a partnership between well nasa at that point and the atomic energy commission to energize satellites to ton dangerous of all radioactive substances in one nine hundred sixty four however on one of these satellites the snap at nine o eight didn't make it there orbit fell back to earth disintegrated and the plutonium canada thank god it did not hit a populated area or there would have been a catastrophe beyond comprehension one hundred pounds of highly enriched uranium into the northwest territories of canada on cause was one of several accidents three that the u s has with nukes space nuclear devices the soviets now russia they've they've had six six accidents they've done about sixty sixty some odd space nuclear launch who is the most vulnerable to killer satellite technology we are we have the most communication satellites we have the most weather satellites we're heavily dependent upon communications satellites one small hydrogen bomb in space because enormous havoc to the entire communications military and commercial sectors of this country by blinding us in the middle of a fight we are the most vulnerable that we begin the process of nuclear rising and  wreck over retired from the navy and gave a farewell address to a committee of congress which he stated that billions of years ago two billion years ago he said there was so much naturally occurring radioactivity on earth that they just couldn't be any life then as these as these radioactive poisons went through their their half life the hazardous life times then said rickover life could begin and now rickover went on by splitting the atom by doing fish and by having these nuclear reactors these nuclear power plants we are recreating the poisons that precluded life from existing and they're said rick over the human race is going to reckon self that this is rick over not greenpeace and then he went on to say we must outlaw nuclear reactors at this time we are clearly in a range where renewable energy is cheaper than atomic energy and it certainly does serve the environment better in terms of global warming and everything else you can imagine of course as we know solar panels do not emit radiation we are not going to be scrambling to save ourselves from radioactive fuel at windmills and fuels if properly done not using food crops can supplant baseload power all over the something like four hundred terawatts of potential which is twenty times the world's current energy consumption question of if we don't need as much energy as we've got now then we could actually stop tomorrow we don't need any more extra the technology is there the resources are there we have all the sunlight all the wind all the geothermal and ocean wave energy we need to run this planet with available what's standing in the way is the corporate investments in nuclear power and fossil fuels and that's really the ultimate threat to human time and you know somebody had has had a lot of fun portraying atomic energy as green but never has a bigger told us we could not stop these people we stopped a nuclear plant where they were going to build it is in our nature conservancy in one nine hundred seventy four richard nixon said there would be a thousand nuclear plants in the united states by the year two songs and there are one hundred  four and now that's way too many but the way we stopped atomic power in this country from getting an additional nine hundred percent reacted is by preventing the federal government from financing exports the number  from getting federal money and other permits and whatever else is are they needed to build these additional nine hundred react now with this fukushima disaster which comes on the heels of chernobyl and three mile island and so much else people are saying well the government's for it and so on and so forth we can stop this industry we can get these thirty six billion dollars out we can prevent these reactors one by one from being built and we can install all the little features that we need to survive on this planet and that is our people all over the world have died in the last few decades that the greatest single environmental factor that has been ignored has been bomb fallout and nuclear radiation from permitted  leading without souls in our guts to make sure that children have  we see now to clearly atomic technology is at war with our banking systems its centralized corporate nature puts democracy itself at risk it jeopardizes the very survival of life on this planet with all the alternative forms of real clean energy it seems senseless that we still rely on an archaic form of energy to jeopardize the lives of tens of millions just to continue to line the pockets of a few people around the world can keep up the pressure and bring about the green energy revolution we will see the end of the nuclear power industry
