This is a cutting-edge primer examining what the USA needs to do to move towards a CO2 and nuclear-free future. In a world confronting global climate change, political turmoil, weapons proliferation, nuclear power safety and waste disposal issues, the United States, argues Makhijani, must assume a key role in moving towards a zero-CO2 emissions energy economy. At the same time, he says, America also needs to take a lead in reducing the world's reliance on nuclear power. This piercing study shows how our needs can best be met by alternative sources such as wind, solar, hydrogen, biomass, microalgae, geothermal, and wave power energy. "Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free" is an invaluable reference for anyone with a serious interest in energy politics and the future of our planet.
