How to Fix It with John Avlon

S2 Ep8: Rethinking the Environmental Movement (with Rachel Pritzker)


Listen Later

Climate activists have long advocated for consuming less energy and shrinking our carbon footprint. But a growing ecomodernist movement argues that we need more energy for prosperity, security—and to help combat climate change as well. Philanthropist Rachel Pritzker joins John to discuss the renewed interest in nuclear power, the bipartisan support for more energy infrastructure, and reorienting away from environmental orthodoxies.

Rachel Pritzker joins John Avlon.
