The Doomsday Machine by Martin Cohen
Proponents claim that nuclear power is the only viable alternative to fossil fuels; however, in the wake of the meltdown at Japan's Fukushima power plant, the future of nuclear energy is again uncertain. Here, Andrew McKillop and Martin Cohen argue that the nuclear power dream is pure fantasy, and that its costs are simply too high.
