A new Kindle Single ebook asserts that everything you thought you knew about Nuclear Power is wrong. This is just as well, according to author Mark Lynas in "Nuclear 2.0: Why A Green Future Needs Nuclear Power" because Nuclear energy is essential to avoid a spike in carbon emissions that will encourage catastrophic global warming. Using the latest world energy statistics, Lynas shows that with wind and solar still at only about one per cent of global primary energy, asking renewables to deliver all the world's Power is "dangerously delusional." Moreover, there is no possibility of using less energy, he reminds us, when the developing world is fast extricating itself from poverty and adding the equivalent of a new Brazil to global electricity consumption each year. The anti-nuclear movement of the 1970s and 80s succeeded only in making the world more dependent on fossil fuels, he shows: its history is "not lit by sunshine, but shrouded in coal smoke." "Nuclear 2.0: Why A Green Future Needs Nuclear Power" by Mark Lynas is available as a Kindle Single.
