Part 8/14:
Lomborg advocates for phasing out coal and replacing it with cleaner natural gas, as demonstrated effectively in the US via fracking. He highlights that fracking has significantly reduced US emissions and saved millions from cold-related deaths by providing affordable energy.
He emphasizes nuclear power as a vital, safe, and scalable energy source that could dramatically lower emissions. While safety concerns linger, newer designs promise safer, cheaper, and more reliable nuclear energy—potentially key to future decarbonization.
