In the late 1980s, citizens of the French département of Deux-Sèvres refused to allow the building of a nuclear landfill.

Everyone knows nuclear is an outmoded source of energy, highly dangerous and outrageously expensive. No one wants it in their backyard, but the powers that be don't always ask. Ever since Chernobyl and Fukushima, they've been desperately clinging to it as an option, stressing out and turning a blind eye.
A timely reminder, then: in the late '80s, the state tried to bury nuclear waste in Deux-Sèvres, and the citizens organized to scuttle et que les habitants their plans. Doesn't it feel great when activism works out?
Armed with facts and biting humor, Grégory Jarry and Otto T. recount the grand adventure of nuclear energy.
