Lecture
This lecture discusses the urgent need to transition to renewable energy sources to mitigate CO2 emissions. It covers the current reliance on fossil fuels, the potential nightmare scenario of continued high emissions, and the critical role of renewables in curbing CO2 levels. The lecture explores global statistics on nuclear fission, the challenges and risks associated with nuclear energy, and the significant impact of nuclear accidents. It also delves into the costs and perspectives of nuclear fusion as a future energy source. The presentation emphasizes the importance of renewable energy prices, the potential of nuclear energy to reduce CO2 emissions, and the economic aspects of different energy sources.
