Nuclear Power is Not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else
Nuclear Power is Not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else – Review
I constantly thought that a nuclear power plant was something like a sketch from a Simpson’s cartoon, with a rock (uranium) behind a example of glass making radiation which somehow turned into electricity. After simply reading this book my metaphor for a nuclear plant has officially changed — rather it’s a form of giant Rube Goldberg device with thousands and thousands of interconnected parts which are jumbled together, which leak radiation in numerous ways, and which, as they continue to age, are rapidly deteriorating more and more. What comes to mind in this regard, is the space shuttle — how many have blown up and how many do we have eventually left anyway? (Who else but the government would send a thirty year other vehicle into space, when we scrap cars after fifteen year.) Who else but the government would support an industry where after forty years, we still haven’t been able to figure out what to do with the highly toxic waste products, tons and tons of which are newly created each year. This book gives a group of information about nuclear power which seems worth really knowing. I quickly noticed that this book has poorly received “Ones” by quite a few of the reviewers. It seems their criticisms are based on something other than the fascinating insights into nuclear power gave by this book. Personally I am fairly optistic about alternative energy and believe that USA civlization can move further without nuclear power or coal produced energy for that matter.
