Energy is Life tells of Zion Lights's journey to from an Extinction Rebellion editor to becoming an environmental advocate for nuclear energy. She argues that now we are discussing very real environmental threats and opportunities, nuclear energy has emerged as the unavoidable and inevitable part of the equation.
Zion Lights is an award-winning science communicator who is widely recognised for her environmental advocacy. She founded Emergency Reactor, the UK's first pro-nuclear environmental campaign group, and she has played a key role in shifting the global narrative on nuclear energy. As the former Editor of Extinction Rebellion's print newspaper, The Hourglass, Zion played a pivotal role in elevating climate discourse in the UK, and as a spokesperson for the group, she highlighted the need for action on climate change worldwide. Zion has been referred to as 'Britain's greenest mother' by the Daily Telegraph and 'an eco-pragmatist, happily heavy on science' by the Guardian.
