      Great book, highly recommend to anyone who is interested in energy industry, climate change, etc., especially for those who have any illusions left about the likes of greenpeace, wwf and other quasi-religious environmental organizations. Listen to scientists, not activists!

      The book was really good. It talks about some of the ways that nuclear energy can be a viable solution to help cut our global carbon emissions. The book focuses a lot on some of the rhetoric and criticism though, a bit too much for my tastes. I would have preferred the book focused more on just the benefits that nuclear energy has.

      I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject of nuclear power and its viability as a key option to combat climate change. What I liked most about it is they state clearly that their priority is to push whatever energy option has the most potential to help reduce our climate impact, renewables or nuclear, not necessarily nuclear.
      I did have the impression they were arguing from a foregone conclusion but that's not a big problem.
      I wish they made at least a mention of nuclear fusion, as a potential option having a complete game-changing future impact (eg. carbon extraction plants run by fusion power), but they make no mention of nuclear fusion obviously seeing that its too far off to be an option worth discussing for now.
      Its hard to disagree with their overall conclusion, a good book.
