On Thursday, October 13, 2011, I participated in a debate (on behalf of my Center for Industrial Progress) against a Greenpeace representative on the topic, “Green Energy: Economic Savior or Economic Suicide?”  Sponsored by CFACT, the event took place at the University of Texas at Austin, and was streamed on the Web. (The full debate will be produced professionally for general release, but for now a 90% complete version of the Livestream is available here. Also, my talk at Texas A&M on the same subject is available here.)

 

The debate covered a wide range of topics, including:

• The economics of solar and wind.
• The “green” opposition to nuclear power.
• A free-market, individual rights approach to pollution.
• Free-markets vs. central planning in energy.
• The true meaning of “green energy.”
