Power to save the world

An informed look at the myths and fears surrounding nuclear energy and a politically realistic solution to global warming and our energy needs. Concerned by the world's oil shortages and confused by differing views on alternative energy sources, Gwyneth Cravens sets out to find the truth about nuclear energy. After interviewing leading scientisits, researchers, engineers and experts in the fields of public health, counterterrorism and risk assessment, she comes to one conclusion: if nuclear power is successfully and economically harnessed here and around the world, it can be both a safe energy source and an essential deterrent to global warming. In fact, if we are to care for subsequent generations, embracing nuclear energy is an ethical imperative.
