Energy, Climate Change & the Case for Nuclear Power

David Walters argues that nuclear power as a low CO2 producing energy source must be part of the solution to uncontrolled global warming. New technologies, such as the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (which doesn’t require any uranium mining, enrichment or long term disposal of spent fuel) and the Integral Fast Reactor, provide the basis for eliminating fossil fuels and for powering a future society without want. The lesson of Fukushima is that it is too dangerous an industry to be left in private hands and to be driven by the profit motive. It would be much better for energy to be under the democratic control of society, that is, what we call socialism.
