The price of decarbonisation? A week of war in Ukraine

If humans were as serious about saving life as they were about destroying it, climate change would be easy to solve — B y now, any further comment condemning Russia’s horrific war in Ukraine should surely be superfluous. But amidst the rubble, death and destruction, is there an opportunity to gain some perspective on other threats our species faces? I believe there is.

Undercover COP Day 2: getting the message out

As the blue-clad team of nuclear volunteers spread throughout the Blue Zone, we engaged delegates…

Ten years on from the accident, it’s time to highlight its real legacy — namely, that lives are lost if nuclear plants close. — Is it really ten years? Already a decade since the fourth-most-powerful earthquake ever recorded hit the eastern coast of Japan? That long since the tsunami it caused swept inland, causing devastation on a huge scale and claiming almost 16,000 lives? Somehow — to me, at least — it doesn’t feel…

The Independent Threw Out My Letter To The Editor, So Here It Is Anyway

Even trusted quality news sources get things wrong occasionally, so it’s important to set them right — especially on nuclear power. — Most of the time, The Independent is a really decent news outlet — although it’s now online only, since its lauch in 1986 it has been one of the few UK broadsheet newspapers to provide an alternative perspective to the mainstream media narrative and has consistently produced excellent journalism.
