A Debate on Nuclear Power


TED Talk

This is a video of a TED talk that features Stewart Brand and Mark Jacobson in a debate on nuclear energy. Both men bring up valid and very interesting points on nuclear energy as well as renewable sources such as wind and solar. A few members of the audience also weigh in briefly on either side of the debate. In the beginning the host asks, by a raise of hands, who is for and who is against nuclear power: the results are about 75:25 for. At the end he asks again and some people change in both ways. Watch and see if this debate influences your thoughts at all!
