Going Nuclear (eBook, ePUB)

How Atomic Energy Will Save the World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A bold, provocative, and knowledgable case for the importance of nuclear science and how nuclear power is essential to reaching net zero.

What if net zero is not an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?

In this visionary book, Dr. Tim Gregory challenges prevailing narratives around climate change, arguing that the goal of net zero is not simply to replace fossil fuels with renewables, but to power civilisation using sources of energy that do not emit carbon dioxide. He unequivocally shows that only one emissions-free energy source can rise to that challenge: nuclear power

Going Nuclear calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, illuminating the far-reaching potential of the atom beyond clean energy to advanced medicine, forensics, atomic gardening and interplanetary exploration. By interweaving scientific optimism, myth-busting data and ambitious policy, Gregory offers an alternative nuclear future that can meet the shared goal of environmental stewardship and continued human progress.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Tim Gregory works full-time as a nuclear chemist in the heart of the British nuclear industry. In 2017, Tim surpassed thousands of applicants for a place in the six-part BBC2 series Astronauts: Do You Have What It Takes?, where he was put through the full rigours of astronaut selection and reached the final three. Since then, he has gone on to present a segment about meteorites on BBC4's The Sky at Night and has made live television appearances on BBC Breakfast, BBC Look North, and BBC Points West.

Rezensionen

A bold reframing of one of the most misunderstood technologies of the modern age. With clarity, wit and a scientist's eye for precision ... This book stands out for its capacity to disarm. Nuclear power is here made not only comprehensible but also compelling ... In an age of climate anxiety and technological pessimism, Going Nuclear offers a hopeful alternative Tone Langengen Literary Review

Gregory makes a clear, unflinching case for taking nuclear energy seriously in any realistic path to net zero. His explanations of the science, the trade-offs and the public misconceptions keep the debate grounded while the writing itself is lively and engaging Best Non-Fiction Books of 2025 i news
