Why the UK Parliament should study the practicalities of 100 percent renewable energy systems rather than SMRs or big nuclear …….. ZOOM tickets from eventbrite.co.uk
Leading experts will support the petition calling on the UK Parliament’s Environmental Audit Committee to conduct an inquiry into the practicalities of a 100 percent or near 100 percent renewable energy system for the UK. That is rather than the one-sided hearing held in December for small modular reactors (SMRs).
Speakers: Dr David Toke, Director of 100 percent Renewables UK (and Reader in Energy Politics, University of Aberdeen) will give a brief outline of UK studies on 100 percent renewables in the UK. He is the author of ‘Energy Revolutions – Profiteering versus Democracy’ to be published by Pluto Press in May
Professor Mark Z. Jacobson from Stanford University in California and the world’s leading advocate of 100 percent renewable energy systems will talk about the struggle for 100 percent renewable energy and the irrelevance of thinking about small modular reactors. He is the author of ‘No Miracles Needed’ published by Cambridge University Press
Professor Steve Thomas from Greenwich University and one of the world’s leading independent nuclear power analysts will talk about prospects for SMRs. Steve Thomas was one of those who submitted evidence to the EAC, but who was not called to talk.
Alison Downes is the Executive Director of the Stop Sizewell C Campaign. She will talk about the campaign to stop the monumental waste of financial and local resources that would be caused by Sizewell C.
