Our guests are Chuck Johnson, Director of the Joint Task Fore on Nuclear Power, OR/WA Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Dan Meek, legal advisor to the Oregon Progressive Party.  

Chuck discusses the Hanford Nuclear site in Washington and the only operating nuclear plant in the Pacific Northwest, the Columbia Generating Station.  He covers efforts to close that plant down. 

Dan Meek talks about how the Oregon legislature is working to undermine the Oregon Bottle bill by handing the beverage industry a huge profit windfall.  He then talks about changes to the Oregon Clean Air Act, charges which would endanger the people's health.
