a great believer in human beings ability to find solutions. you call yourself an engineer and an inventor, rather than a scientist, and you ve always championed huge human projects that might mitigate the effects of this climate change. you ve talked about putting vast mirrors. geoengineering, yes. ..into the sky, you ve talked about putting sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere to create a shield, in a sense. and so have others, yes. do you still believe in geoengineering? i think that one method or other will probably be used. the trouble is getting it global. i mean, it s all very well to say, as i often say, that we should be relying in britain on nuclear energy for our renewable nuclear energy and those renewables we can use like, well, like putting windmills way out
at sea, where the wind really blows most of the time. and it s quite a good source, but it is not popular because of the money side of it. mmm. well, to be honest with you, your great advocacy over many years of nuclear energy, nuclear power, hasn t been popular because many people particularly in the green movement you ve had some allies in the green movement and you ve had some enemies but many in the environmental movement see nuclear power as a fundamentally dangerous option. they would point to everything from chernobyl. well, they re crazy! ..to, as you know, they would point to fukushima in the more recent past injapan, and they would say it is insane for human beings to rely on a source of power which, when it goes wrong, threatens the lives of millions.
