- Bjorn Lomborg is a statistician and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center. He is also the author of several books, among them "False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet," "The Skeptical Environmentalist," and "Cool It." www.lomborg.com
I’m constantly astounded that Bjørn Lomborg is almost personal non grata in the climate discussion. I think it’s useful to have points of view from different perspectives.
enjoyed this conversation, very interesting
The problem at Fukushima wasn't safety, system reliability or lack of fail-safe systems. The reactor safely shutdown when the Tsunami was detected. The reason radiation was released is because the Tsunami was so powerful, it literally destroyed the entire nuclear facility & the reactor. The edge of an ocean susceptible to or prone to underwater earthquakes and Tsunamis probably wasn't the smartest place to build a Nuclear Reactor facility. The Chernobyl disaster wasn't caused by a failure of any safety system(s) or a system failure. The people running the Reactor were doing a test that they knew was dangerous. They wanted to see if they could change out a fuel rod without shutting down the Reactor. They powered down the Reactor to around 20% and tried to remove a fuel rod. The safety system(s) wouldn't allow the rod to be removed - so they shut off/disabled the safety system(s) and started to remove the rod. That's when the Reactor went into melt down and they couldn't reverse/stop it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Three Mile Island was another human error caused accident. But, the amount of radiation released was no more than what one would get if you were outside all day, exposed to the sun. No more than getting an x-ray. Keep in mind, the US Navy has been using Nuclear Reactors to power ships & submarines since the 1950's. Currently, all of the US Navy's aircraft carries, submarines and many other ships are Nuclear powered.
Good thing we need no fission to end FF.
it was built next to the sea to be close to a source of water for cooling purposes obviously!
@@ScoriacTears The Japanese Archipelago has 360° of coastline. Rather than build a Nuclear Power Station on the WEST side, directly on the Pacific Ocean, which is prone to Tsunamis, they shoulda/coulda found a location on the EAST side, on the Sea of Japan coastline, where the chance of a Tsunami occurring would be far less. Japan is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet in the Pacific Ocean, and has a high amount of seismic activity. Earthquakes occurring on the ocean's floor is what triggers Tsunamis.
But France, which derives 85% of its total energy needs from nuclear, has nuclear energy down to a science. You build a simplified straightforward design and you cookie-cutter it everywhere. You make sure you only build reactors on solid sites with no geological activity. And now there are breeder reactors, which are actually fueled by nuclear waste from traditional fission reactors. And we get closer every year to developing workable fusion reactors.
What we see in climate among other issues is that no one is trying to serve mankind. Everybody seems to be trying to serve some political narrative or outcome. Those always require some sort of bogeyman… Something that the population must fear. Hello, climate crisis.
@@davidbroussard8760 France also has some of the least expensive consumer electricity in Europe, thanks to nuclear power.
The problem in the US is the cost to build new nuclear power plants & the time factor to build them. Endless lawsuits by special interest group (always the usual suspects) along with continually changing regulations - all done intentionally to delay and make the cost to build financially prohibitive, prevent us from building power plants that are the cleanest and best overall way of producing electricity. Sad...
Joe seems to miss that coal creates many more pollution-related issues than fracking. There is not a single path, as Bjorn repeats, that is free of problems.
You either get more pollution and CO2 in Appalachia and Wyoming with coal. Or your get less (but not zero) pollution and CO2 in Texas (and other fracking states). You're gonna get CO2 with both energy sources: coal and fracking. Fracking simply gives you more benefits and fewer side effects vs coal.
Joe and Jamie where very critical on this one. A shame if you ask me, imo Bjørn is brilliant.
I love listening to Joe grilling this guy.😅
You need to have Alan Savory on the show any time soon!
@PowerfulJRR Alan Savory on Regenerative Farming and Judith Curry on climate.
480 views lol, i assume rogans spotify deal has expired or whatever its called
Rogan dumped his entire catalog on this day!
what do you mean?
@@Karussellbremser179 He re-uploaded a bunch of his old episodes all at once.
Interview begins at 2 hours 14 minutes. Cool, clever, well spoken American vs brilliant European speaking 2nd or 3rd language.
Why?
Fracking takes massive amounts of water and increases possibly of earthquake because they dig deeper, also the natural gas produced doesn't benefit Americans. It's compressed and shipped and sold to eruope making energy companies richer. Europe/UK decided buying expensive natural gas from America when they could invest in the infrastructure already in use to increase the natural gas they already get from Russia. These countries got together and invested to build the Nordstream to supply cheap ,unfracked, uncompressed natural gas from Russia. Which is their right to do. Then guess happened next America put troops on Ukraine/Russian border, we committed an act of terrorism and blew up the underground pipeline, caused environmental disaster and forced those countries to buy our expensive natural gas.
Coal stops growing next year and then goes down by half by 2030. Peak oil is this year or next.
Just delusional thinking
Just not a fact.
My employer has a business plan that in 4 years will put out up to 900.000.000 pieces of disposable plastic items per YEAR.
That alone will add 13.500 tons of plastic all derived from oil.
WTF another one!!!!

No such thing as cold death in Florida so its location specific. Air condition or die here
