Environmentalists have traditionally opposed nuclear energy, but are now swinging around to acceptance, as the real science becomes better known.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSacks and Meyerson rigorously demonstrate that the only practical solution to the environmental energy problem is the greatly expanded use of nuclear power. Their argument combines a devastating exposure of the wishful thinking and scientific ignorance that lies at the heart of any reliance on \"renewables,\" a sober examination of the real risks and true merits of nuclear energy, and an exposure of the capitalist system as an obstacle to human betterment.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Universe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781637700679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Bill Sacks,Greg Meyerson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924708524213,"sku":"9781637700679","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_44039ead-d374-475e-bb47-42e10812d00f.jpg?v=1761660538","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-poverty-of-green-philosophy-a-marxist-case-for-nuclear-energy-in-a-cooperative-world-9781637700679","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
