Why I changed my mind about nuclear power | Michael Shellenberger | TEDxBerlin

Alternative Energy No Comments »

For more information on Michael Shellenberger, please visit www.tedxberlin.de. Michael Shellenberger is co-founder and Senior Fellow at the Breakthrough Institute, where he was president from 2003 to 2015, and a co-author of the Ecomodernist Manifesto.
Over the last decade, Michael and his colleagues have constructed a new paradigm that views prosperity, cheap energy and nuclear power as the keys to environmental progress. A book he co-wrote (with Ted Nordhaus) in 2007, Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism
to the Politics of Possibility, was called by Wired magazine “the best thing to happen to environmentalism since Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring,” while Time Magazine called him a “hero of the environment.” In the 1990s, he helped protect the last signi cant groves of old-growth redwoods still in private hands and bring about labor improvements to Nike factories in Asia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Forget Small ... What About Micro Nuclear Energy?

Revisiting Small Modular Reactors – The Future of Nuclear Energy? Get Surfshark VPN at https://surfshark.deals/undecided and enter promo code UNDECIDED for 83% off and 3 extra months for free! Although nuclear energy is reliable and a sustainable energy source, the nuclear energy debate rages on. It’s not considered the go-to solution in the renewable energy transition. Solar, wind, and hydro are getting all the attention. Nuclear reactors are big, expensive, and take a long time to build, but what if we could make them smaller, portable, cheaper, and safer. Small modular reactors are getting a lot of interest with the first versions coming online in China and new locations popping up in Canada. As well as former SpaceX engineers that have made things even smaller … to a micro reactor scale. Could this be the future of nuclear energy?

Correction on NuScale: “A single NuScale Power Module (NPM) provides 77 megawatts electric (MWe), with a 12-module design resulting in a total gross output of 924 MWe.”

Is California’s Green Energy Really Green? | Michael Shellenberger

The Biden Administration recently announced plans to open more than 250,000 acres off the California coast to wind development as part of a program to expand renewable energy nationwide.

My returning guest today is Michael Shellenberger…described by Time Magazine “as a Hero of the Environment,” also Founder and President of Environmental Progress, and best-selling author of Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All.

Today he discusses why the proposed off shore wind farm, may actually end up harming the environment.
