Frank's sober assessment offers progressives a nourishing shot at redemption at the most tremulous hour of the republic.-Jeffrey St. Clair Noam Chomsky once pointed out that a lot can be learned by examining the left end of the mainstream political debate because it reveals the limits to the principles guiding American power. Joshua Frank reveals that those limits are not only narrow, but are an ominous trend. Born and raised in Montana, Joshua Frank lives in New York City.

The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl.   The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River.  Whistleblowers, worried that the worst is ahead, are now speaking out, begging to be heard and hoping their pleas help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers and the global environment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51042495136017,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51042498117905,"sku":"NIN9781642598827","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52475860877585,"sku":"NLS9781642598827","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1642598828.jpg?v=1750763794"},{"product_id":"bad-energy-book-joshua-frank-9798888906071","title":"Bad Energy","description":"Green energy and renewables are heralded as the only way to mitigate our ever-worsening ecological crisis. But that’s not the whole story.     In Bad Energy, award-winning journalist Joshua Frank argues that the green energy transition is driven not by an effort to save the planet but by profit incentives. We must stop burning fossil fuels if we have any hope of saving the planet, but the significant, haphazard expansion of green energy in recent years—from large solar projects to wind energy to mining for renewables—has destroyed communities and ecosystems. And worse, renewables simply cannot match our ever-expanding demand for energy, driven in no small part by the rapid proliferation of data centers in the world’s wealthiest nations.    Taking readers from copper mines in Montana and Bolivia to wind farms in Wyoming to the geopolitical battle over deep-sea mining in the South Pacific, Bad Energy offers a stark assessment of the costs of the rush for renewables and the demand for endless growth. As Frank makes clear, we cannot consume our way out of climate chaos. What we need instead is rejection of the capitalist interests driving planetary collapse and a radical vision for a truly sustainable future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53613308477713,"sku":"NGR9798888906071","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798888906071.jpg?v=1780317269"},{"product_id":"bad-energy-book-joshua-frank-9798888906491","title":"Bad Energy","description":"Green energy and renewables are heralded as the only way to mitigate our ever-worsening ecological crisis.
