A Marxist Case for Nuclear Energy in a Cooperative World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Humanity has a problem: human-caused global warming. In The Poverty of Green Philosophy, two progressive intellectuals with a profound knowledge of science, technology, and capitalism give us a fresh and iconoclastic take on the energy dilemma confronting our species.

Many leading climate scientists like James Hansen, aware of the limitations of solar and wind, have concluded that nuclear power is the bestpossibly the onlyhope for solving the climate change problem. Environmentalists have traditionally opposed nuclear energy, but are now swinging around to acceptance, as the real science becomes better known.

Sacks 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.
