    • Michael Shellenberger ...
    Zuby and Michael Shellenberger engage in a conversation about investigative journalism, the evolution of media platforms, and the thrill of uncovering new truths. Shellenberger shares his journey from advocating for nuclear power to becoming a full-time investigative journalist, driven by a desire to challenge mainstream narratives and reveal overlooked facts. He discusses the impact of technology, such as Substack, in democratizing media and allowing independent voices to flourish. Shellenberger highlights the importance of empiricism over ideology in shaping public discourse and driving positive change. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, he underscores the excitement of investigative work and the pursuit of uncovering new perspectives.

    I remember when journalists were allowed to question everything and report as they concluded. We have now seen a journalist [perp-walked] for not just a misdemeanor, but after being saying he would turn himself in, upon request. These are indeed terrifying times and we must stand up for a free press.

      Unfortunately, my conclusion after 30 years of thinking about the issue of organising human society is that there is no long term sustainable option; there are just cycles. The boomers caught and rode the best part of the wave, and we are now about to crash. And then we will rebuild. This is why I refuse to propagate my genome.

    To my knowledge Shellenberger is correct about climate change and Zuby is well balanced. The irony if he is correct that he "failed" for being right which suggests the current way to "win" is by being wrong.

    1:00 I don't understand why people on both sides refuse to accept the current nuclear is a "good enough" stopgap solution. We should have give all-in in the 90s and used that for fifty years until something better was invented, but instead we just kept using coal and gas while waiting for that same something better until maybe it's too late.

      France and Canada both kept their heads and stuck with nuclear (esp. France, which doesn't have hydro like Canada). It's worked out well for them. Germany made the foolish mistake of dumping nuclear in favor of Russian gas, which nearly led to an immense disaster. It lost the gas and then had to build LNG port facilities in an absolute panic. They almost had to start burning wood for heat.

    Always love to see Michael in interview as his point are beautifully articulated and are far more than just expanding his argument but also reveals more about the issues that motivate us in very real ways. I also notice that his bookshelf includes Tupy and Pooley's "Superabundance" which I think is one of the best books that pops the bubble of fear that so pervades the public sphere. I wish everyone would read it and begin seeing the reality of how civilization and the modern economic industrial system brings so much to the world. Cheers.

    Glad to see someone hasn't got the SMR fever. Sodium cooled fast reactors are potentially great but nothing is fundamentally wrong with present reactors.

    • @gagamba9198
      @gagamba9198 Месяц назад +1

      Reliance on water for cooling means they need to be beside oceans, lakes, and major rivers (that don't dry up during droughts, so no nuclear reactor on the Rio Grande). This happens to be the most desirable and productive real estate - areas w/ large population. Need an alternative cooling solution that allows marginal/undesirable land to be used and makes it viable for those areas that don't have abundant water resources. And moving reactors away from populated areas also addresses NIMBYism.

    The problem with nuclear power is humans and politics. Just look up why Fukushima Daiichi blew up and Fukushima Daini didn't. Even so they're the same NPP hid by the same tsunami. Hell even Chernobyl was considered to be the safest reactor design until it wasn't.
