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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSacks, Bill:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Before retirement, \u003cb\u003eBill Sacks\u003c\/b\u003e was a diagnostic radiologist and FDA medical officer, following a career as Professor of Physics.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMeyerson, Greg:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eGreg Meyerson\u003c\/b\u003e is recently retired Professor of English at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro.
