Overview

"The nuclear debate, focusing on the emotive issues of cost, radiation, reactor safety, and waste disposal, is fiercely argued, and as the opinions of the pro-and anti-lobbies are so diametrically opposed, there seems little hope of a compromise, let alone a solution. Beginning with a history of the nuclear industry world-wide, ""Political Electricity"" provides an analysis of current public attitudes, and reveals a striking disparity between the popular negative image and the realities of nuclear power's achievements. The book concludes with a survey of energy alternatives, and examines the likely future role of nuclear power in the light of the world's rapidly growing population, and the implications of the greenhouse effect."
