Speech Topics
A Journey from Myth to Fact
In this talk, Gwyneth Cravens describes her journey from anti-nuclear protestor to supporter of nuclear power and the surprising information that led her to change her mind. Environmental leaders here and abroad, as well as a number of nations, are now concluding that more clean, safe nuclear power is necessary in order to improve public health and reduce accelerated anthropogenic climate change and ocean acidification.
Getting Past "Us Versus Them"
In this presentation, Gwyneth Cravens talks about how more effective communication concerning current and future sources of power production and their risks and benefits can make a difference on the grassroots level as well as in the national dialogue about the choices we make regarding the future of energy and the environment.
Why Going Green Means Going Nuclear
We obtain about three-quarters of our electricity from burning fossil fuels. In this lecture Gwyneth Cravens will discuss the urgent need to replace fossil fuel combustion with nuclear power and show that no other nonpolluting large-scale energy resource can do the job while also saving lives and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
