Seizing its chance, the nuclear power industry wants us to believe that theirs is the only technical fix for our deliverance. Unsurprisingly, politicians and the media have been easily swayed. After all, the pro-nuclear PR campaign is richly funded and has an army of lobbyists sowing myths, ultimately influencing public opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo To Nuclear\u003c\/i\u003e calls the industry’s bluff. Blasting aside its claims to be safe and green, Linda Pentz Gunter makes the irresistible case that nuclear power is too slow, too expensive, too dangerous, and too connected to the nuclear weapons complex, to serve as a rational energy choice. The book also delves into the lives of Indigenous peoples and marginalized communities, who have been harmed the most by the nuclear sector, and questions whether the way we devalue our environment is costing us the chance of a genuinely just energy transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinda Pentz Gunter\u003c\/b\u003e founded the US-based non-profit Beyond Nuclear and serves as its international specialist.
