- Challenges - the physical limits and other challenges to the sustainability of human life on earth
- Boundaries - nine areas of human effects on Earth system processes within which we must stay within safe zones, inlcuding:
- Energy[1]
- What is energy?
- how much do we use and for what?
- how is energy consumption related to poverty and development?
- how does our energy mix need to change to become sustainable?
- Renewable energy
- Types of renewable energy - Solar, Wind, Hydro, Biomass etc
- Solar energy
- Wind energy
- Hydropower
- Wave energy
- Tidal energy
- Geothermal energy
- Biomass
- Nuclear energy
- What is nuclear energy? - what is fission, fusion, and radioactive decay, and what are the different types of fission reactors,
- How safe is nuclear energy? - what about Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island?
- Nuclear safety - more on safety and accidents
- Spent nuclear fuel and Nuclear waste - articles about the management and long-term disposal of nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel
- Proliferation - does having nuclear energy make it easier or harder for states to build nuclear weapons?
- Nuclear radiation - what is nuclear radiation and how dangerous is it?
- What is nuclear radiation? - Alpha particles, Beta particles, Gamma rays and neutrons
- Radiation hormesis - the hypothesis that low level radiation enhances health
- Sustainability of nuclear fuels - how much Uranium and other fuels do we have?
- Nuclear decommissioning - decommissioning nuclear power stations etc
- How fast can we build nuclear? - doesn't it take too long to build? How does it compare with the speed of building other clean energy generation?
- Economics of nuclear energy - how much does it cost to build nuclear plants, and how much does the power they produce cost?
- Carbon intensity of nuclear energy - is nuclear really low carbon? How low?
- Expert assessments of nuclear energy - what do the IPCC, IEA etc say about nuclear energy?
- Public perception of nuclear energy - a collection of links to pro- and anti-nuclear pieces.
- Nuclear energy by state - articles about nuclear energy in various parts of the world.
- Nuclear energy in the UK
- Hinkley Point C - articles about the EPR being built at Hinkley Point in Somerset
- Nuclear energy in the UK
- Articles about specific reactors:
- EPR - the "European Pressurised Reactor" / "Evolutionary Power Reactor" being built at Hinkley Point and elsewhere
- "Hualong One" / HP1000 - an evolutionary Chinese design of Pressurised Water Reactor which may be built at Bradwell in Essex
- KEPCO APR1400 - Korean PWR
- New nuclear reactor technologies - various types of reactor being developed or proposed
- Small Modular Reactors
- Molten Salt Reactors
- Moltex - an unusual and promising Molten Salt Reactor being developed by a British start-up company
- Terrestrial Energy - a Canadian company developing a small modular reactor for use in remote locations
- Thorcon - a company planning to build Thorium-fuelled molten salt reactors in shipyards.
- Fast breeder reactors - reactors that can create their own fuel and burn up radioactive waste
- Nuclear fusion - some articles about fusion
- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
- Transport
- Land use
- Science
- Economics
- People - who's who
- Action - what we need to do, and what we can do, individually and/or collectively, about the problems we face
- IPCC - the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: a body of experts who assess the science on climate change, mitigation, and adaptation.
- Legal action on climate change - using the law to compel governments and businesses etc to take action on climate change.
- Anti-nuclear movement - the people and organisations opposed to nuclear energy
- Extinction Rebellion - the activist movement using non-violent civil disobedience to pressure governments to act on climate change.
- School strike / Fridays 4 Future / Sunrise movement
- Greens, Ecomodernists, and the right - political tendencies related to acceptance or otherwise of climate change and solutions.
- Editorials - opinion pieces and original research
