This week, Dr. Caldicott speaks with Michael Klare, a Professor of Peace and World Security Studies at five different colleges in the U.S: Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Prof. Klare has written widely on U.S. foreign policy, the arms trade, and international resource politics. He is the author or co-author of nine books, including: Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict (2001), Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America’s Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum (2004), and Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The New Geopolitics of Energy (2008). Blood and Oil is also a documentary film, available on DVD. This episode also features an excerpt from a March 2010 speech by Dr. Caldicott at St. Michaels College in Vermont, in which she addresses the outrageous fallacy that nuclear power is safe and a viable solution to global warming.
