The producers of 'Chernobyl' should tell the truth: the accident demonstrates the relative safety, not danger, of nuclear power. — Michael Shellenberger Copy Share Image
The reason renewables can't power modern civilization is because they were never meant to. One interesting question is why anybody ever thought… — Michael Shellenberger Copy Share Image
There has always been enough fossil fuels to power human civilization for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years, and nuclear energy is… — Michael Shellenberger Copy Share Image
In reality, Chernobyl proves why nuclear is the safest way to make electricity. In the worst nuclear power accidents, relatively small amounts… — Michael Shellenberger Copy Share Image
I actually argue that renewables are worse than fossil fuels. It's a physical manifestation of lower power densities. More land, more materials,… — Michael Shellenberger Copy Share Image
If you look at all the energy that is used by an iPhone, not just to make it and to power it,… — Michael Shellenberger Copy Share Image
I remained quiet about the climate disinformation campaign because I was afraid of losing friends and funding. The few times I summoned the courage… — Michael Shellenberger Copy Share
