If you're a college student, for example, you might get involved with Environment America's 100 Renewable Campus campaign and try to push your school to go renewable.If you want to join those efforts, here are a few that you might want to consider. If you want to be part of reaching the 100% clean energy by 2035 goal for the US, there are lots of organizations working toward this. We look at the history of nuclear energy, how it became so polarized, and whether it holds the promise to get us off fossil fuels now, when we most need to.
In this week's episode, we wade into the debate. They say that nuclear energy, like fossil fuels, is a product of old thinking that ignores the full suite of its environmental impact - the persistence of nuclear waste, and the harm caused by mining for materials, like uranium, that power nuclear energy plants. Others say that nuclear power tries to solve an illness with more of the disease. Nuclear, after all, produces a lot of electricity and doesn't emit greenhouse gases while making energy.
Some say that if you're not on board with nuclear energy, then you aren't serious about addressing the climate crisis. When it comes to nuclear energy, many people have strong opinions.
