This book is a collection of essays focused on the Gordian Knot of our time, the closely coupled problems of electricity poverty for billions of humans, and global warming for all humans. The central thesis is that nuclear electricity is not only the only solution, it is a highly desirable solution. The book argues that nuclear power is not inherently costly. Nuclear power is inherently cheap, very cheap. But currently nuclear power in the West is prohibitively expensive. The reason for this expense is a regulatory system that is based on Two Lies. We trace the origin of the Two Lies and how it has resulted in nuclear power that costs five or more times what it should-cost. Here's the Good News. The problem is man-made. But what is man-made can be man-unmade In this book, I propose we dump the current auto-genocidal regulatory system and adopt a variant of the system that has provided us with the unprecedented wealth and health that we current enjoy.
