About this title

From the Publisher:

This book answers an important question posed by Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth: Is nuclear power one of the answers to global warming? This book explains why atomic energy is a poor choice for replacing energy currently supplied by fossil fuel plants. A thorough review of the nuclear power industry's history provides all the answers to advocates of atomic energy such as Dick Cheney.

From the Inside Flap:

Before buying into the idea that nuclear energy is going to save us from global climate change because of its theoretical potential for low carbon dioxide emissions, read this book—and then work for the alternatives. —Arjun Makhijani, President Institute for Energy and Environmental Research
