This is evident from his Carbon Commentary blog and his 2020 book, What we Need to Do Now.Page 17: 'My proposal for our route to zero carbon emissions is for a twenty-fold expansion of renewable energy.' Page 37: 'A few years ago, we might have thought that new nuclear generators might fill the role of renewables today. But the experience around the world of building new power stations has been almost uniformly disastrous.' Page 37: 'At today's expected price levels, nuclear power would be at least twice the cost of offshore wind or solar.'
