This is the second of two pro-nuclear books I've read recently. The people pushing for the reduction of fossil fuels for power generation are realizing that solar and wind are not going to make that happen anytime soon, if ever. They bring with them their own environmental issues, too. The first book I read was written by a convert, someone in the green movement who used to be anti-nuclear but has seen the light. It was written with all the exuberance of a new convert. This book is more even in tone, and focuses on the stories of a few representatives in the pro-nuclear movement rather than focusing on the author. Those representatives are a mix of converts and others who have long been for nuclear, and it comes across more balanced as a result. What it lacks compared to the first book is data and references. The author did a lot of firsthand research, which is excellent, but she left out the data that would help a reader like me understand her position. I am for nuclear power, but if I didn't already hold that position then I would be left wondering if there was merit to her sources' positions.

Overall, it's a good read if a bit long, it covers the field well, and I recommend it as one of multiple sources interested readers should look into.
