Prescription for the planet

It is sometimes said that for everyone on the planet to enjoy the lifestyle of developed nations, we would need the resources of two or three Earths. Tom Blees thinks differently. There was a full house to hear Tom Blees, author of Prescription for the Planet explain how a trio of little-known yet profoundly revolutionary technologies (such as the Integral Fast Reactor), coupled with their judicious use in an atmosphere of global cooperation, could solve the power, pollution and resource problems facing the world today.

In association with the Environment Institute, University of Adelaide.
