Environmentalists have traditionally opposed nuclear energy, but are now swinging around to acceptance, as the real science becomes better known.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSacks and Meyerson rigorously demonstrate that the only practical solution to the environmental energy problem is the greatly expanded use of nuclear power. Their argument combines a devastating exposure of the wishful thinking and scientific ignorance that lies at the heart of any reliance on \"renewables,\" a sober examination of the real risks and true merits of nuclear energy, and an exposure of the capitalist system as an obstacle to human betterment.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Sacks, Greg Meyerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1637700679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781637700679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Universe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Bill Sacks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47136490684671,"sku":"9781637700679","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12faa3a4-1142-4aa4-aa70-5fe082944ce2.jpg?v=1755023503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poverty-of-green-philosophy-bill-sacks-9781637700679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
