An Superb Debunking of The Anti-Nuclear Argument

The author with his extensive knowledge and wide experience demonstrates conclusively the fraud of the anti-nuclear energy ignoramuses and malicious enemies of human progress. Sims demonstrates that nuclear energy is a benign technology that can provides a reasonable safe and reliable source of energy for the bulk of the world's population. By critically examining the claims of the anti-nuclear spokesmen, Sims demonstrates the spurious nature of the entire anti-nuclear energy argument. This work is a necessary read for anyone concerned about the wlefare and progress of humanity.

Interesting

Interesting book, very fast read. It was nice to get the perspective of someone other than the usual anti-nuclear zealots. The only complaint is that it was from a Canadian point of view (and Im from the USA) so at times there was info that didnt really apply.

The Politics of Being Anti-Nuclear.

An excellent book for those readers who seek the real story of the anti-nuclear power movement. As a citizen environmentalist and former newspaper journalist who covered the Three Mile Island incident--and as one who " "bought in" to the anti-nuke, anti-science propaganda of the utopian '70s--this book is an eye-opener. I feel like a Moonie or Scientologist who has just been de-programmed. While there are flaws to the management of today's atomic stations, it becomes increasingly clear to the thinking, rational reader that atomics will indeed play an important part in 21st century energy production--both fission and fusion sources. A rare book with a brave voice. A rare presentation of technical and political facts, absurd agenda politics from the Left and Right, and notably the Left's politicized science and environmental doublespeak
