Here is coverage from the U.N. climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, with prominent Russian environmentalist Vladimir Slivyak, co-chair of the Russian environmental organization Ecodefense and winner of the 2021 Right Livelihood Award for defending the environment and mobilizing grassroots opposition to the coal and nuclear industries in Russia.
Slivyak says the Russian war in Ukraine, especially the Russian occupation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, should serve as a warning to immediately transition to renewable energy sources, not nuclear energy, and to stop relying on fossil fuels. "As long as the United States and European Union continue to pay Vladimir Putin for uranium or fossil fuel, that means that this money will be used for the war in Ukraine. That means more people will die in Ukraine," he adds.
[Mr. Slivyak is correct about the U.S. still buying uranium fuel from Putin, but he is incredibly ignorant of the value of nuclear power to the World. Just because Putin may bomb the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, does not mean we all should abandon nuclear power! He is also apparently unaware that wind and solar are not the answer to the world's need for energy (Here).]
