Debunks the enduring myth that nuclear power is safe and green


There is no silver bullet for the climate crisis—but that hasn’t stopped people searching. Seizing its chance, the nuclear power industry wants us to believe that theirs is the only technical fix for our deliverance. The public, politicians and the media have been easily swayed.

This should come as no surprise. After all, the pro-nuclear PR campaign is richly funded and has an army of lobbyists sowing myths while the industry reaps the rewards of taxpayer-funded subsidies.

No To Nuclear calls the industry's bluff. Blasting aside its claims to be safe and green, Linda Pentz Gunter makes the irresistible case that nuclear power is too slow, too expensive, too dangerous and too integrally connected to the nuclear weapons complex, to serve as a rational energy choice.

The book also delves into the lives of Indigenous peoples and communities of colour, who have been harmed the most by the nuclear sector, and questions whether the way we devalue nature and the environment is costing us the chance of a genuinely just energy transition.

Arvustused

'Linda Pentz Gunter has done a great service in highlighting the nuclear chain reaction and exposing the huge human and environmental costs. We need this book for our environment and a peaceful world' -- Jeremy Corbyn 'Linda Pentz Gunter methodically exposes, with powerful evidence, how nuclear power is unneeded, uneconomic, uninsurable, unevacuable, unsafe, and dilatorily unreliable, while being a catastrophic sabotage target. Citizens everywhere, do not let the media ignore this book! Rally around its concise readability and ready-made recommendations' -- Ralph Nader, lawyer and co-author of The Menace of Atomic Energy 'Linda Pentz Gunter has the great skill that more writers should have: to take a crucial and complex issue and make it truly accessible. This rigorous and comprehensive work is a gift to everyone who wants to understand the nuclear power paradox' -- Kate Hudson, previous General Secretary of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament 'An excellent take down of the many talking points employed by nuclear power advocates. Linda Pentz Gunter has stepped up to the task of writing this necessary book admirably, offering us a wide ranging set of arguments, based on extensive research and delivered with style and humour' -- M.V. Ramana, author of Nuclear is Not the Solution
