Excellent- More about Energy or Extinction?: The Case for Nuclear Energy
This book, written by Fred Hoyle in 1977 and 1979, argues that our present society cannot survive without energy sources on a vast scale. He considers nuclear fission to be the only source currently capable of supplying our needs, and fills in the scientific background necessary to appreciate his arguments. It is provocative and remains relevant today.
Format: Hardback

Originally published in 1977 and as a second edition in 1979, this book argues that without energy sources on a vast scale, our present society cannot survive. According to the author, Fred Hoyle, the technology to tap solar, wind, or wave power on a large enough scale simply does not exist. He considers nuclear fission to be the only source currently capable of supplying our needs. The author fills in the scientific background necessary to appreciate his arguments in his lucid, direct style, so that the book can act as an ideal introduction for those unfamiliar with the energy debate. This short book is unashamedly provocative, and many of the central tenets of it remain as relevant today as when it was first published.
