Interviews

Description

Interview: August 2006Mayer Hillman is an Emeritus Professor at the Policy Studies Institute. Two years ago he wrote a Penguin book called How to Save the Planet in which he described a carbon rationing scheme as a means to reduce carbon emissions. He believes this is the only equitable framework that can deliver the carbon reductions necessary to prevent irreparable damage to the Earth, a view increasingly held elsewhere. In this interview with Richard Scrase, Mayer Hillman comments on the 2006 UK government energy review, describes his carbon rationing scheme and comments on the new US version of his book that he is currently writing.
