Energy or Extinction? The Case for Nuclear Energy by Fred Hoyle (2nd Edition)
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3.5 Mb
Overview: All Fred Hoyle’s writings are brilliant and strikingly original. This is true vintage, but he also brings to it a passionate intensity of feeling about the vulnerability of western society and of the threat to our children’s future. Written for the non-scientist, it explains the scientific, economic, and political backgrounds to the world’s energy and materials resources; and it brings refreshing common- sense to bear against the claims for new non-nuclear energy sources and the hysteria ofthe anti-nuclear environmentalists.
The book makes two major points, hardly to be found in any other book on the energy crisis. First, that some of the anti-nuclear campaigns are politically inspired as a means of weakening the West. Second, that nuclear breeding – which is now the only sure way to an energy-unlimited future – does not necessarily require fast breeder reactors, it can also be accomplished in reactors such as the Canadian CANDU type, which are technically straightforward and well-proven. It is surely a scandal that the U.S. and t e U.K. have ignored this attractive alternative for so long.
