Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy - Softcover
In a world confronting global climate change, political turmoil among oil exporting nations, nuclear weapons proliferation, nuclear plant safety and waste disposal issues, the United States must assume a leadership role in moving to a zero-CO2 emissions energy economy. This is one of the most important issues that the scientific community is trying to work together with the government on. It is something that will affect us all as humans living on this earth. This is a book that brings forth the ideas and the knowledge we need to make ourselves more eco-conscious. We will be able to see how we can meet our energy needs using alternative sources, such as wind, solar, biomass, microalgae, geothermal and wave power. This book is sure to be one of the steps to get us closer to a cleaner and healthier environment.

Review:
Argun has produced a study which fulfills my greatest hopes an urgent action plan to move Earth in a dignified way out of intensive care. --Helen Caldicott, M.D., Founding President, Nuclear Policy Research Institute
This Roadmap could liberate us from an energy policy that is trashing out climate and out mountaintops, that is polluting our land, sea, and air, that is trying to resurrect dangerous nuclear power, and that has America so dependent on imported oil that our foreign policy is the prisoner of oil. Arjun has a stellar technical track record. I have no doubt that, with determination and guts, we can achieve a renewable energy economy. Arjun has laid out a thoughtful and practical approach to get us there. --S. David Freeman President, Los Andeles Board of Harbor Commissioner, and former Chairman, Tennessee Valley Authority
Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free is an excellent report that I have already used in public lectures and in internal corporate briefings. Its recommendations are a call to action that will pout the U.S. economy on a course in harmony with the environment rather that at loggerheads with it. This Roadmap deserves serious attention in government and industry. --John M. Miller PE, PhD VP Advanced Transportation Applications, Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
