In our first show of 2008, as oil prices rise above the $100 a barrel mark, and the UK government prepares to announce its nuclear plans, energy is the big topic.

John Vidal, the Guardian's environment editor, and, Leo Hickman, ethical living editor from the paper, are in the studio to discuss why the government is expected to back nuclear.

US financier, Bob Hertzberg, whose company, Renewable Capital, is investing millions of dollars in solar technology, tells John Vidal why the smart money's on green power.

The residents of the tiny island of Eigg, in the Hebrides, explain how they are pioneering eco-friendly power in Britain.

The Observer ethical living columnist, Lucy Siegle, tells us about the Observer's Ethical Awards which launch on Sunday.

And Guardian Unlimited's Jessica Aldred offers tips for how to have a greener New Year by pledging to fly less.

Guardian Weekly is hosted by Alison Benjamin, acting environment editor at Guardian Unlimited.

Please give us your feedback.

Next week Lucy Siegle and Larry Elliott will be in the studio and among the topics being discussed the environmental implications of India's new People's Car.
