AWW22 Bad Energy - Ian Lowe and Jeremy Moss

Chaired by Natasha Mitchell


Two brilliant books concerned with the morality intrinsic to
energy policy. In Long Half-Life, Emeritus Professor of Science,
Technology and Society Ian Lowe demolishes nuclear energy,
arguing it is indivisible from the industry’s role in weaponry,
and that the issue of waste has never been solved. Political
philosopher Jeremy Moss’s Carbon Justice posits we have a
responsibility to recognise and combat the moral harm done by the
mining and exporting of our fossil fuels. Far from being a minor
contributor to climate change, he contends, our massive exports
of fossil fuels make us one of its key drivers.
