Join Bookends for a fascinating talk with nuclear scientist and rising star Dr Tim Gregory as he discusses the benefits of nuclear energy as a fuel source for a net-zero future. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session and book signing.
This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.
Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely ‘green’, and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century’s Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future.
Dr Tim Gregory works at Sellafield and is also a writer and broadcaster on TV and radio. His knowledge and enthusiasm for his subject is immense and infectious and he welcomes important and challenging questions at his talks!
