From the jacket flap
In each case, this book argues that the costs of nuclear power significantly outweigh its benefits. It concludes by calling for investments in renewable energy, combined heat and power/cogeneration/distributed generation, and energy efficiency as a better path towards an affordable, secure, and socially acceptable future. The prospect of a global nuclear renaissance could change the way that energy is produced and used the world over. Sovacool takes a hard look at who would benefit mostly energy companies and manufacturers and who would suffer mostly taxpayers, those living near nuclear facilities, and electricity customers. It is a must-read for anyone even remotely concerned about a sustainable energy future, and also for those with a specific interest in modern nuclear power plants.
