Contents
Fourteen arguments against nuclear power -- Cover-ups and consequences -- The path forward : better options exist.
Summary
Chronicles the problems of aging reactors, uncovers the costly challenge of decommissioning, explores the industry's greatest seismic risks - not on California's quake-prone coast but in the Midwest and Southeast - and explains how solar flares could black out power grids, causing the world's 400-plus reactors to self-destruct. This powerful exposé concludes with a roundup of proven and potential energy solutions that can replace nuclear technology with a "Renewable Renaissance, " combined with conservation programs that can cleanse the air, and cool the planet.
