Going Nuclear
Going Nuclear
Description
What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?
In this visionary book, Dr Tim Gregory transforms our understanding of climate change, urging us to rethink the path to net zero. He argues that the solution lies not just in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide- nuclear power.
Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that equates 'renewables' with are completely ''green' and 'sustainable', and exposes the limitations of wind and solar power, highlighting their unreliability and hidden fossil fuel dependency. He debunks myths surrounding nuclear waste and radiation, and confronts fears surrounding nuclear meltdowns and atomic warfare, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only dependable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy.
Going Nuclear calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme- a victory for both the environment and humanity. By interweaving scientific optimism, myth-busting data and ambitious policy ideas, Gregory illustrates the boundless potential of the atom beyond just clean energy- from advanced medicine and forensics to atomic gardening and interplanetary exploration.
This is a bold manifesto for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future- a world in which abundant energy is available to all.
