The Demise of Nuclear Energy?: Lessons for Democratic Control of Technology

By Joseph G. Morone

Book Overview

A nonpartisan analysis of America's nuclear industry-how it was implemented, why it has been so unsuccessful, and what lessons it can teach us for future energy policymaking. Joseph Morone and Edward Woodhouse argue that a radically altered form of nuclear power could provide a more acceptable and less environmentally destructive energy future-if we learn from the failures of the first nuclear era.
