Jeremy interviewed on Chatshow.net

Watch the interview on Chatshow.net
In part one, Dan and Jeremy discuss Jeremy’s search for oil in Belugistan, and why this experience changed his career path completely. Jeremy tells us about his realisation of how much human race is damaging the earth. Previously with Greenpeace, Jeremy had found his vocation and set up a solar power company, Solar Century. Solar power being a renewable energy and much kinder to the environment.

Part two is where we find out about Jeremy’s new book, Half Gone. He writes about the oil industry and how he believes that the wool is being pulled over the eyes of the public when it comes to the truth of just how much of this precious resource there is left. He desperately hopes that his analysis is wrong and that we have been more careful with this natural fuel than he suspects.

In part three, Dan and Jeremy discuss how solar power could be made cheaper and become the competitive alternative to traditional fuels. They go on to discuss James Lovelock’s book, The Revenge of Gaia, and his spiritual views in comparison to Jeremy’s scientific approach to environmental problems. Stay tuned to watch Jeremy take part in Cheesey Dips!
