Amory Lovins interview, podcast, article
I’ve got a triple-play in today’s Toronto Star. First, an article of mine features energy-efficiency guru Amory Lovins talking about the financial and economic pitfalls of nuclear and why Ontario has made a horrible decision by pursuing construction of new reactors. His argument isn’t new, but it bears repeating: If the private sector isn’t interested in nuclear, then it’s simply too risky to pursue.
Accompanying this article is a podcast — basically an audio recording of my interview with Lovins. Keep in mind this was heavily edited down from 55 minutes to 25 minutes, and the quality isn’t that great because I believe Lovins was on a speaker phone. That said, I think there’s some interesting information there beyond what I mentioned in the article.
Finally, if text is your preference, there’s a text version of the Q&A on the site as well. Again, edited for good flow.
