Linda Pentz Gunter with Vincent Intondi: NO TO NUCLEAR

Linda Pentz Gunter, founder of Beyond Nuclear, speaks alongside Dr. Vincent Intondi on the Ivy patio about her new book, No to Nuclear: Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives, Derails Climate Progress and Provokes War.

No To Nuclear blasts aside the industry's claims to be safe and green, demonstrating that nuclear power is too slow, too expensive, too dangerous and too integrally connected to the nuclear weapons complex, to serve as a rational energy choice. It considers the impact of nuclear power on the lives of Indigenous peoples and communities of colour, and asks: is the way we devalue nature and the environment costing us the chance of a genuinely just energy transition?

We hope you'll join us for this powerful and educational conversation on the Ivy patio.
