Still up for discussion: Nuclear energy as a green solution
A blog article in the Scientific American re-ignites the debate on nuclear power. For some relevant information on the subject, check our title THE NUCLEAR COMEBACK. Until real green and renewable energies are commonplace, this issue is sure to bring up more discussions.Labels: energy, green living, nuclear power, renewable energy
Earth Day 2008
While "green" has become the latest marketing buzz word and Earth Day is celebrated again today, The Washington Post brings up the lack of real changes as US emissions are projected to rise over the next 2 decades. The Guardian environmental blog also raises the question of the relevance of Earth Day and how to prompt lasting lifestyle changes in the general public. Maybe the beginning of an answer can be found in another Guardian article about renewable energy and the Icelandic model.
THE NUCLEAR COMEBACK is the latest Icarus Films release on environmental issues. In a world living in fear of climate change, the nuclear industry is now proposing itself as a solution. Legitimate proposition or preposterous claim? The film goes on a worldwide tour in search of answers, visiting some of the planet's most famous nuclear facilities, including the control room of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.Labels: earth day, ecology, green living, nuclear power, renewable energy
