In 2025, Belgium will close its last two nuclear plants, which make around half of the countries power. The plan? Replace it with gas.

I am joined by Rob De Schutter, founder of the Belgian Ecomodernists, to discuss what political decisions have led Belgium to this point, how the closure of the majority of its clean energy is being rationalized in the face of states emission reduction goals, and what is being done about it.
