Krátky popis
As climate change begins to take a serious toll on the planet--with
much more damage yet to come--a solution to our warming problems is
hiding in plain sight. We need to commit to de-carbonizing our
economy, and do so immediately, but so far we have lacked the
courage to really try. Our fears of nuclear energy have grown
irrationally large, even as our fears of climate change are
irrationally small.In this clear-sighted and compelling book,
Joshua Goldstein and Steffan Qvist come bearing good news: a real
solution, one that is fast, cheap, and provably works. Based on
Sweden's success cutting their carbon emissions in half, Goldstein
and Qvist argue for a policy that combines nuclear and renewable
energy sources. From 1970-1990, Sweden replaced coal power plants
with nuclear ones, and slowly integrated renewable energy alongside
it.During that same time period, the country generated more
electricity than ever and its economy grew by 50 percent. They have
had no nuclear accidents, nor has any of their uranium been stolen
by terrorists. Separating facts from doomsday scenarios, Goldstein
and Qvist force a real and meaningful dialogue about what the best
energy policy is, and the dangers of remaining on our present
path.And they offer an answer that really could work--if only we'd
give it a try.
