In a world torn apart by wars over oil, politicians from
both sides of the political spectrum have begun to seek for alternative
energy sources-and their leading choice is nuclear energy. The myths that
have been spread about nuclear-powered electricity are that it does not
cause global warming or pollution, it is inexpensive and it is safe.
Join Helen Caldicott in conversation with Christine Slade as they examine
the real costs and consequences of nuclear energy being used as an alternative
to current power sources.
Nuclear
Power is not the Answer
Helen Caldicott
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.
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.
The book presents arguments as to why renewable energy solutions are
amenable, cheap and immediately available.
