Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide, Dr. Susan Rubin and I discuss her new short documentary film, “The Plan(?)”, which focuses on the evacuation plan, or lack thereof for the Indian Point Nuclear Facility in Buchanan, NY. The plant is 35 miles north of NYC, and an orderly and safe evacuation scenario is a fantasy. Where would you go, and what would you do, should there be a catastrophic event at the plant? How do you safely evacuate 300,000 to 20 million people? Would you go to your local evacuation bus stop with the Blue and White signs?? Would you jump into your car and pray that the roads are clear? Are those options based in reality???
To find out more, tune in to the program, and please view the film “The Plan(?)” by viewing below or going to: www.vimeo.com/96615872

Join me and Andrew Mazzone, President of the Henry George School of Social Science, as we discuss the interconnection of economic and environmental issues. We touch on the importance of the writings of Henry George, via his book Progress and Poverty. It seems that history has not changed, in that inequality and wide income gaps are as pervasive today, as they were decades and centuries ago. Large energy companies are stripping the finite natural resources of the planet, and we must seek alternative ways to work in balance with nature to protect our land, air and water. Greed is deeply imbedded in our society, and this must change. Check out all the good work Andrew and the Henry George School are doing by visiting their website at 
John Parker environmental lawyer extraordinaire, takes us through what steps are needed to adapt and create legal policies to guide us through extreme weather events such as Superstorm Sandy.
