Summary: INFINITE NEGATIVE STARS! THIS GUY IS HITLER INCARNATE!
Review: nuclear power sucks. Have you seen the movie "The china syndrome"? That movie tells the truth. We humans are truly the cancer of the earth and our disregard for this fragile planet shows that we need to go. The development of nuclear power shows our egotism is out of control. This guy hates not just children, but,more importantly, all legitimate life on this planet as well.

Summary: The Environmental Case for Nuclear Power
Review: Robert Morris does a good job of documenting the market need for more power and the shortcomings of the current alternative energy sources. He also documents in detail the environmental hazards of coal and oil burning generators. Unfortunately, he denies the well documented history of hazards of nuclear reactors and categerozies the opinions of people who are concerned about the safety of nuclear energy as uninformed opinion of the scientifically untrained. President Gerge Bush might be swayed by Mr. Morris' arguments but anyone who is concerned about the ecological health of our planet can not take this book seriously.

Summary: A very convincing case for Nuclear Power
Review: This book is a very convincing case for the use of Nuclear Power. One major point of the book is that nuclear power is extremely safe and clean compared to its fossil fuel based alternatives. It also debunks the many falsehoods and myths the anti-nuclear power movement have succeded to spread. The book is fact filled, detailed, honest, and the author is careful to provide references to all his sources. The book convincingly paints a very frightening future in the event we don't start using Nuclear Power to a greater extent soon. Thus it introduces a rational fear while dispelling irrational fears of Nuclear Power. The author does not say nice things about anti-nuclear activists. However, I was a teenager in Sweden 1980 when Sweden held its national referendum on Nuclear Power, and I participated in and listened to the debates. The way anti-nuclear activists were misinforming, lying, spreading rumors, scaring people, and even persecuting and defaming those who dared to disagree with them convinced me for all time that we should fear anti-nuclear activists, not nuclear power. This book scientifically demonstrated what I long have felt and suspected since that tragic year of 1980.

Summary: Good Background To Nuclear Energy
Review: This book provides a very good introduction to nuclear energy and the environmental factors. The author covers in some detail the issues of using nuclear power and the fallacies of the environmental extremists who oppose it. To environmentalist mindlessness the author provides good brain food. In particular Mr. Morris points out the down side of trying to manage without energy in a less affluent society. Anti-nuke artists might note that in the energy scarce Middle Ages acting and artist jobs were few and far between. The average peasant only saw a juggler once in a while.

Summary: Outstandingly Level Headed
Review: This is a book that the New Zealand government should read and backs up a book that I read years ago called the "The Day the Bomb Fell". I would like to add my two cents worth in relation to the five worst coal mining disasters on P 132. The Number 2 colliery at the Wankie Coal Mine in what was then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) suffered a coal dust explosion in 1972 which killed 427 miners. This is a prophetic book and the powers that be need to take note, particularly here in New Zealand which has suffered electricty shortages because hydro dams have dried up recently as a result of 1 in 50 year droughts that seem to happen every year now. It's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

Summary: Nuclear Power is the answer.
Review: This is well documented and easy to understand. I find myself thinking about the book every day and going back to re visit what is the best account of the energy question ever. A must read for every thinking American.
