What if climate change isn’t an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?
*Updated with a new Introduction*
'Thrilling...vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER
'A bold reframing of one of the most misunderstood technologies of the modern age ... This book stands out for its capacity to disarm' Literary Review
In this visionary book, Dr Tim Gregory urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.
Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely ‘green’, and debunks myths surrounding nuclear waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future.
'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN
'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' HANNAH RITCHIE
'So interesting … it’ll answer all our questions' JEREMY VINE
