Atomic Culture: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
I have a good friend who is real left wing and very concerned about the environment. he is so concerned about rising co2 concentrations in the atmosphere and our need to reduce them immediately that he has said we should use nuclear power generation to get off fossil fuels. i never agreed with that logic but i was usually stumped as to how to make a clear, concise and compelling argument against it. this book has given me the tools i need to do just that. nuclear power is in no way clean. the massive amounts of energy that go into mining, refinement and construction of nuclear products and facilities alone almost eats up any of the 'clean-ness' of the power then generated. then there is the deadly nature of unleashing nuclear material into the atmosphere through normal operations right up to terrorists attacks. none of this is worth it. we need never see nuclear power as a bridge off of fossil fuels towards a sustainable energy future. nuclear is deadly and we should never cede ground to anyone claiming otherwise.
