Our coal fired power stations are past their sell-by date, some looking greener.  Our nuclear legacy is costing us billions yet we are proposing to increase this liability.  Fracking and gas are seen as the quick easy fix.  We support renewables but not near us.  We are profligate with a valuable resource but are slow to save.  Yet we all want cheap energy at the touch of a switch.

Other events in the Bristol Politics Cafe series

The Bristol Politics Cafe seeks to encourage debate and discussion in the run up to the May 2015 election.

In collaboration with PolicyBristol, the Bristol Politics Cafe has selected a range of experts from the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England to share their expertise and answer your questions on topics from media bias, to EU governance, to austerity. 

Join us 8pm-10pm on Wednesday evenings at The Station, Silver Street, Bristol BS1 2AG
