LWVKitsap: “The Future of Energy in Washington” Report and Recording from October 11, 2021
Speaker : Dr. James Conca, PhD
Dr. Conca gave a brilliant presentation on the role of nuclear power as the world powers grapple with climate change. He asked his viewers:
• Will our clean hydropower be sufficient to generate enough electricity?
• How much energy do we need for the future?
• Should nuclear power be part of the solution?
Dr. Conca is an earth and environmental scientist specializing in geologic disposal of nuclear waste, energy-related research, and work on issues in space for 34 years. He's been a consultant for the DOE, EPA/State Environmental agencies and industry companies including nuclear, hydro, wind farms, large solar arrays, coal and gas. He currently writes an energy and environment weekly column for Forbes.com.
(Please note: the beginning of the webinar is missing due to technical difficulties at the time.)
