Description
Nuclear 2.0: Why a Green Future Needs Nuclear Power By Mark Lynas The future of our planet is threatened by catastrophic global warming, and nuclear energy is essential to avoid it. While renewables will play a role in our energy strategy, relying solely on them is delusional. In reality, wind and solar power contribute only 1% of global primary energy. Environmental campaigner Mark Lynas debunks the myths surrounding nuclear energy, often overlooked due to concerns about waste and radiation poisoning. Atomic energy is one of the most impressive sources of low-carbon power. This book re-evaluates the situation, highlighting why our future is threatened by both big fossil-fuel companies and professional anti-nuclear groups. Lynas argues for a collaborative approach, advocating for a massive investment in wind, solar, and nuclear power to achieve a low-carbon future.
