Beschreibung
'Methodically exposes, with powerful evidence, how nuclear power is unneeded, uneconomic, unsafe and unreliable'. Ralph Nader, co-author of The Menace of Atomic Energy. 'Rigorous and comprehensive'. Kate Hudson, former General Secretary of CND. 'Does a great service in highlighting the nuclear chain reaction and exposing the huge human and environmental costs'. Jeremy Corbyn, British politician and Member of Parliament. There is no silver bullet for the climate crisis-but that hasn't stopped people searching. Seizing its chance, the nuclear power industry wants us to believe that theirs is the only technical fix for our deliverance. Unsurprisingly, politicians and the media have been easily swayed. After all, the pro-nuclear PR campaign is richly funded and has an army of lobbyists sowing myths, ultimately influencing public opinion. No To Nuclear. calls the industry's bluff. Blasting aside its claims to be safe and green, Linda Pentz Gunter makes the irresistible case that nuclear power is too slow, too expensive, too dangerous and too connected to the nuclear weapons complex, to serve as a rational energy choice. The book also delves into the lives of Indigenous peoples and marginalised communities, who have been harmed the most by the nuclear sector, and questions whether the way we devalue our environment is costing us the chance of a genuinely just energy transition. Linda Pentz Gunter. founded the US-based non-profit Beyond Nuclear and serves as its international specialist. A journalist for 25 years, working with Reuters, The Times. and USA Network, she now writes features for the Morning Star. and Capitol Hill Citizen.
