Is Nuclear Right for My Family?: Making Energy Choices Around the Kitchen Table in a Climate-Changing World
What does energy really mean in your daily life?
From the cost of electricity to the reliability of power during extreme weather, from climate concerns to the mix of energy sources that power our lives - including nuclear, renewables, and fossil fuels - the choices we make about energy shape our daily lives in ways most of us rarely stop to consider until something goes wrong.
In Is Nuclear Right for My Family?, Dr. Peter Ozemoyah draws on more than three decades of experience in the energy sector to translate complex topics into clear, practical insights for everyday readers. Rather than focusing on abstract debates, he explores what different energy options actually mean for households - in terms of cost, reliability, safety, environmental responsibility, and long-term impact.
Through accessible explanations, real-world context, and thoughtful discussion, the book explores:
- How different energy sources work - including nuclear, renewables, and fossil fuels
- The trade-offs between affordability, reliability, and sustainability
- How climate change is reshaping energy decisions
- Why ethics, Indigenous rights, and public trust are part of the energy conversation
- How families and communities can participate in informed energy choices
Balanced, engaging, and grounded in lived experience, this book does not tell readers what to think. Instead, it equips them with the understanding needed to ask better questions, weigh real trade-offs, and make informed decisions for their homes, families, and communities.
Whether you are trying to make sense of rising energy costs, climate change, or the future of nuclear energy, Is Nuclear Right for My Family? offers a clear and accessible guide to one of the defining issues of our time.
