Michael's talk brings forward a number of thought provoking points, so if you would like to discuss any of them, please leave a comment down below.
I'm a 3rd year Earth Sciences student from UCL taking a break from my rocks to discuss the problems we as a planet face. In particular I shall be focusing on Nuclear Power and its potential role in addressing climate change. Throughout my blog I'll be analysing its pros and cons and determining whether I (and hopefully you) think it is the answer, or part of, to climate change.

Nuclear Power - Is our Fear Jeopardising our Future?
This is just a small post to share a video of a talk by Michael Shellengerger; an environmental policy expert who has dabbled in a large area of climate change topics from the planetary boundary hypothesis, to carbon pricing and beyond. This talk discusses how the impact of declining nuclear energy production is having a negative effect on our overall 'clean' energy productions, while also looking at the public's perception of nuclear, and the barriers this presents for the future of nuclear energy and climate change.
