A timely and thought-provoking solution to the world's energy
shortfall
The dramatic increases in oil and natural gas prices, the finite
supply of fossil fuels, and concerns over emissions and global
warming are forcing us to consider alternatives. In this measured
and knowledgeable book, energy experts Alan Herbst and George
Hopley argue that the time has come for the U.S. to revitalize its
nuclear generation assets in order to successfully meet growing
domestic electricity requirements and lessen our dependence on
foreign sources of energy. Nuclear Energy Now provides an informed
look at the benefits and drawbacks associated with this
controversial alternative to traditional energy sources.
It opens with a brief overview of commercial nuclear development
in the U.S. during the past half-century and moves on to discuss
what the future may hold if new initiatives-supported by the Energy
Policy Act of 2005-gain traction. Along the way, readers will find
informed insights into why the need for nuclear power has become so
critical and how we can safely add capacity in the coming years.
Exploring all of the issues related to developing America's nuclear
energy capabilities safely and cost-effectively, Nuclear Energy Now
is a must-read for anyone concerned about our oil dependency, the
environment, and future of the nation.
