In 2019, Quinn interviewed his good friend Craig Mazin, writer, producer, and creator of the hit HBO miniseries, Chernobyl, to learn what happened there, and what it means for our energy future.

This week, Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine, directing the Russian military to take Ukraine's bases, cities, people, and strategic assets.

Today, they took Chernobyl.

We're re-running this invaluable conversation because misinformation is rampant, and it's never been more important to understand the cost of lies.
