Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer
by Helen Caldicott

Average Customer Review:
In Stock

From Publishers Weekly
Caldecott's latest antinuke book searingly debunks the claim that the impending "nuclear power renaissance," purported by some to be the only answer to global warming, is "clean and green." She covers all the bases, from the carbon emitted in the creation of nuclear power (higher than fossil fuels... Read more

Well, Roy, we always have the opportunity to...

DISAPPEAR.

Drink the Kool-ade.

Because, Roy, there are 6.5 BILLION of us on this planet, and there are no easy answers. We (all 6.5 Billion of us) will require a lot of energy to live our lives. And while Nuclear is not perfect, it is now looking pretty good, compared to oil and (ugh) coal.

Get with the program.

Or take a powder.

Nuclear Power Used Up More Energy
Than It Delivered To Society !

"At the end
of forty years of the US nuclear power program
by 1991, this energy- 381302 MW-yrs -delivered to
society is still less than the gross cumulative
energy invested in nuclear plant construction and
maintenance of 489174 MW-yrs! "

It must be noted that a number of surprises
have caused retrofits and replacements like the
steam generator premature replacements and the
replaced radioactive steam generators enclosed in
costly sarcophages worldwide. These have
enormously increased the energy invested in these
white elephants.

Letter to the Editor,

The aim of nuclear power is spent fuel rods (nuclear waste) from
which weapons are made. Atom bombs, easier are dirty bombs,
so-called depleted uranium ordinance, not electricity, That is why
40 sovereign countries have nuclear power.

Dr. John Gofman says there is no safe dose of man-made ionizing
radiation. We should not add to it with new nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power is the most dangerous form of electricity. It is the
heat which makes steam that powers electric generators. Albert
Einstein once said, "Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil
water".

Liability is paid by the tax payer under the Price/Anderson Act.
Electric rate payers subsidize nuclear power and waste disposal.
There is big money and political power in nuclear waste, in killing
people, in a toxic regime. Nuclear power pollutes the environment
and will not stop global warming according to studies.

Oh, no. He's back. And he's posting stuff he's been refuted on time after time.

1. Nuclear power plants have an energy payback time of 12-18 months. Most in the U.S. have operated for over 20 years.

2. I can dig up pictures of dead babies, deformed people, and paper mache casts of ugly people in a 20 mile radius of Uncle Roy's (Dennis Nester's) house. Dennis Nester causes cancer and kills people, everyone! Oh, wait. Statistics just mandates that "cancer-related" stuff happens everywhere (it's happened for millions of years), including around Chernobyl.
