Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Capitalism and the Environment



2009, Cultural Studies
Presented By: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lays out the ground work on the level of impacts our “addiction to carbon” has had on the environment, the economy and our future society.  He questions how we use energy; the current subsidises provided to oil, coal and nuclear power providers, and how our reliance of this source has caused us to deal with countries that do not share the same values.  He suggests that not ending our addiction now and investing in alternative solutions, will have far reaching costs that we will not be able to afford nor recover from.  Watch it now.
