Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book provides a review of the serious limitations and drawbacks to nuclear power, and clearly conveys why nuclear power is a less than desirable option in terms of addressing climate change. It uses accessible and engaging language to help bring an understanding of the issues with nuclear power to a broader sector of the public, with the intention of appealing to non-scientists seeking knowledge on the disadvantages of nuclear power as a solution for climate change. The argument is made that while superficially appealing, nuclear power is too costly, fragile, and slow to implement, compared to alternative options such as wind and solar.'As this book shows, to nowadays hold on to Nuclear Energy, a risky and extremely expensive method of create power, just does not make sense any longer.'-- Prof. (em.) Andreas Nidecker, MD, retired academic radiologist, Basel, Switzerland'Datesman and Brugge present evidence that nuclear power is an insecure and unsecureable technology, inherently incompatible with humanity and democracy; it fuels nuclear weapons technology and possession; choosing it would damage our chances at mitigating the climate crisis.'-- Cindy Folkers, MS, Radiation & Health Specialist, Beyond Nuclear'Although the government, industrial, and scientific nexus say it is safe.I can only think of one word in Navajo 'Ina'adlo'' meaning manipulation by the power that be to say it is safe. My Navajo people are dying from the uranium exposure on their health and environment. Great account of information on studies that have taken place around the world to say uranium is not good.'- Esther Yazzie, Navajo Interpreter and knowledge holder on Navajo issues.'At a time when there is a call to triple the growth of nuclear power, Datesman and Brugge provide a timely and thorough examination of the dark-side of 'romancing' the atom. With solid technical astuteness, they cover a wide field littered with unsolved and dangerous problems ranging from the poisoning of people and the environment to the failed economics, to the spread of nuclear weapons .they point out how science and public trust have been corrupted by the lure of unfettered nuclear growth.'-Robert Alvarez, Associate Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. 108 pp. Englisch.
