Fukushima and the Hiroshima Syndrome: Can We Get Back to the Future?

Dr. Steve Simon discusses nuclear energy, Sunday, December 7 at 12:30 in Oakton.

Nuclear energy was once the promise of plentiful, cheap energy. Now, fearing another nuclear catastrophe and hoping to transition to renewable energy in the future, some energy-intensive countries are shutting down nuclear reactors and using more hydrocarbons. Carbon pollution is increasing alarmingly while renewable energy remains in the future. Many leading climate and energy experts promote a new generation of nuclear power reactors as a bridge solution.

Join Dr. Steve Simon and Science, Reason & Religion in the chapel at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax, 2709 Hunter Mill Road, in Oakton on Sunday, December 7, 12:30-2:00pm.
