Considered to be somewhat extreme even by Greenpeace and FoE.
Apparently he is particularly interested in "the role of sub-political
(bottom-up) involvement in environmental risk decision-making". He
advises, and is a member of, a number of environmental NGOs. Member
of Green Audit, an anti nuclear, anti GMO organisation and supporter
of the Low Level Radiation Campaign. Member of the Stop Hinkley
campaign.

Very coy about his qualifications presenting himself as an expert on
being an expert so I assume he was originally a Sociologist.

development of sustainable energy technologies, and in particular
renewable energy based systems

No doubt they are all professors of media studies, theoology, and
knitting..

Not quite, but not too far off :-).

Nice job Peter, well done that man.
