Join Greater Manchester & District CND and author Linda Pentz Gunther in conversation with climate campaigner Martin Empson.
The UK government is eager to expand nuclear power, following the example of the United States. It asserts that nuclear power is ‘domestic’ energy, protects national security, provides jobs and keeps electricity bills down. But is any of this true?
In her new book, ‘No To Nuclear: Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives, Derails Climate Progress and Provokes War’, Linda Pentz Gunter debunks the pro-nuclear myths, and shows how choosing nuclear power will guarantee continued use of fossil fuels, squeezing out renewables and actually making climate change worse. But she also looks at the nuclear power and nuclear weapons story —inextricably linked, especially through Britain’s Trident nuclear submarine fleet — from the perspective of the people the entire nuclear sector harms.
Join us to meet Linda and discuss the issues!
