Next he interviews Linda Seely about efforts to prevent the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant from resurrecting a 20 year old application to keep the crumbling plant open. Rebecca Wood talks about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s influence on the environmental movement, including this quote: “It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated.
