"Nuclear Power is not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else" lays out the reasons why nuclear power will solve nothing but will add substantially to the problem of global warming. What would occur should a catastrophic meltdown occur either in the reactor itself or in the cooling pools. This book presents arguments as to why renewable energy solutions are amenable, cheap and immediately available. The nuclear armaments programme spearheaded by the US and Russia now is associated with Iran, North Korea, Israel, Pakistan and India. It is a unique book addressing nuclear power and global warming, the economic costs, the medical implications of the nuclear fuel cycle, the new generation of reactors and their future contribution to the proliferation of nuclear weapons facing the world today. |
