Nuclear Power: In its new generation, is it worth reviving?

from Earthworms

Kat Makable, a financial analyst, was living in Japan in 2011 when the tsunami resulting from the Tohoku earthquake shut down the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.  His experience of the effects of power outages and shutdowns motivated him to research nuclear power options.                                His book "Buying Time: Environmental Collapse and the Future of Energy" makes the case that current generation nuclear energy technology must be included in a mix of energy production sources to support human needs and demands in the age of Climate Change - and beyond. Music: Abdiel, performed live at KDHX by Dave Black THANKS to Andy Heaslet, Earthworms engineer!
