238: Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer by Helen Caldicott

Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer

In Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer Caldicott argues that "Nuclear power contributes to global warming, the real costs of nuclear power are prohibitive (and taxpayers pick up most of them), there’s not enough uranium in the world to sustain long-term nuclear power, and that potential for a catastrophic accident or terrorist attack far outweighs any benefits."

Why this is progressive/liberal: Liberals like Barack Obama and iconoclastic progressives like Stewart Brand argue that some form of nuclear power is a necessity. Caldicott counters those arguments in this book.
