Nuclear power & engineering; Alternative & renewable energy sources & technology

This book is designed to recalibrate the discussion on whether nuclear power is the best option for energy generation in the future. It emphasizes the significant differences in power generation between renewables, specifically photovoltaics and wind power, and points out the advantages and disadvantages of both. It also highlights the renewable experiment being emphasized in Australia and compares this approach with that adopted by the rest of the world. It is a vital addition to the discussion written by a scientist, engineer and mathematician with extensive global experience in industrial processes and engineering quality systems.

Reviews for Is Nuclear Power the Answer?

“It is important to consider all of the alternatives when discussing the future of energy in Australia. This book provides information with reference to the decisions that will have to be made—such as changing the laws in Australia so we can at least put nuclear energy on the table.” Dick Smith Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Companion of the Order of Australia “John Blakemore has provided a compact and informative text on the future energy choices that we face in Australia. Moreover, he has taken a fresh approach to considering the relative advantages of the nuclear option versus fossil fuel and renewable alternatives, which makes a significant contribution to this critically important debate. This book is rich in evidence-based logic and science-based analysis about one of the most important policy topics facing the human race in this century: energy and climate change.” Prof. Danny Samson University of Melbourne, Australia
