Question: The ethical reasoning to consider applying in this symposium is the categorical imperative. Consider how you may use it and adapt its implications to assessing the issue at hand. The topic for discussion is the ethical responsibility of energy production and consumption.
Consider how you might apply the reasoning of the Categorical Imperative, in its full implications, to the issues of choosing our electricity providers and methods. Non-renewable vs. renewable, polluting vs. clean energy. Coal, oil, nuclear, etc. vs. options like hydro, solar and wind power, etc.
