In a historic vote, Vermont is poised to shut down its lone nuclear reactor. We speak to nuclear engineer and former industry executive Arnie Gundersen, who first sounded the bell on the Vermont Yankee. Anti-nuclear activists mobilize to oppose the Obama-funded construction of Georgia nuclear plants. We speak to Nuclear Watch South coordinator Glenn Carroll, who has been leading efforts against the construction of the new plants. An investigation exposes many undisclosed corporate ties of network political pundits. We speak to journalist Sebastian Jones, who carried out the investigation for the Nation magazine. "Democracy Now!" co-host and Daily News columnist Juan Gonzalez received the 2010 Justice in Action Award from the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund last week. We play an excerpt of his acceptance speech. "Democracy Now!" is a daily independent newshour.
