Download The Doomsday Machine: The High Price of Nuclear Energy, the World's Most Dangerous Fuel AudioBook Free
Today, there are over 100 nuclear reactors functioning in our backyards, from Indian Point in New York to Diablo Canyon in California. Proponents claim that nuclear electricity is the only real viable option to fossil fuels, and anticipated to growing energy utilization and the looming threat of global warming, they are really pushing for an even greater investment. Here, energy economist Andrew McKillop and social scientist Martin Cohen dispute that the nuclear electricity dream being sold to us is real fantasy. Debunking the multilayered misconception that nuclear energy is cheap, clean, and safe, they show how panoramas are ravaged in search of the elusive yellowcake to power the reactors, and how energy companies and politicians almost never discuss the true costs of nuclear electricity crops - from the subsidies that build the infrastructure to the unspoken assurance that the public will pick up the cleanup cost in the event of a meltdown, which can easily top $100 billion us dollars.
