[.ca] Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer (ISBN 1595582134)

Nuclear Power is Not the Answer -- The Title Says it All !:
Dr. Helen Caldicott, has written another incredible book! In her magnificent book, Helen shows us: ·Why the claim that nuclear energy is clean and green is very misleading. ·How dangereous it is for the individuals involved in the production of the fuel for nuclear reactors and how devastating it can be for the environment. ·That nuclear energy is not nearly as affordable or competitive with other energies as we have been led to believe. ·The possibility of a meltdown at any nuclear power plant currently running is very real, and that there have been several very close calls in recent years, putting literally thousands if not millions of peoples' lives at risk. ·How nuclear power plants can contribute to the proliferation of nuclear weapons!! On a brighter note, we learn that: ·Renewable energy promises much more in the way of generating electricity for the world than the nuclear folks would have us believe. ·There is enough wind just between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River to meet the electricity needs of the entire U.S., three times over. ·Impressive advances in photovoltaic technology, which generates sunlight directly into electricity, have been made in recent years. Compelling, well written and easy to read, I highly recommend "Nuclear Power Is Not The Answer," in which Helen explains clearly how expensive nuclear energy actually is and always will be! Certainly a must read for everyone!

Caldicott still jumping at shadows:
This book is an insight into the disturbed mud of anti-nuclear thinking. No deceptive phrase is ignored, no wild exaggeration is avoided, no debunked mythology is too painfully untrue to be spewed out, no unscientific study is left to gather the dust it should. In short, this book is about the irrational phobia of one woman and her tireless campaign to infect others with as much bad thinking as she can. Helen Caldicott's book is definitely not the answer to anything, unless the question is "How can I start my campfire?"
