Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free
Book •
Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free presents an argument for transitioning away from both fossil fuels and nuclear power toward renewable energy and efficiency.
The authors analyze energy economics, safety concerns, and policy pathways to achieve deep carbon reductions without relying on nuclear expansion.
They critique nuclear power's costs, timelines, and waste management problems while proposing practical alternatives like renewables, demand reduction, and distributed generation.
The book aims to demonstrate that a reliable, low-carbon energy system can be built without new nuclear plants, using existing technologies and policy changes.
It has influenced debates among environmentalists and energy analysts about the role of nuclear power in climate strategy.
