Room VIII, Vernon Square Campus of SOAS (please note NOT the main campus), off Penton Rise near Kings Cross station/tube.
Join us in a debate on the proposition: "Nuclear Power has no place in the fight against Climate Change: it is simply a diversion which leads us away from the real answer, renewable energy".

Join us in a debate on the proposition: "Nuclear Power has no place in the fight against Climate Change: it is simply a diversion which leads us away from the real answer, renewable energy".
With Stephen Tindale, ex Executive Director of Greenpeace but a recent convert to the case for nuclear, and Darren Johnson, Green Party chair of the London Assembly Environment Committee.
Does the Fukushima disaster prove that nuclear power presents a risk greater than we can afford? Or does the burgeoning climate crisis represent a far greater risk that we should pull out all the available stops to avoid - including nuclear? Can renewables fill the gap if we scrap both fossil fuels and nuclear? Is it politically feasible to reach a zero carbon world without nuclear?
Hear the arguments and bring your own!
