{"product_id":"b0bxpcz33k","title":"The Case for Nukes: How We Can Beat Global Warming and Create a Free, Open, and Magnificent Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Case for Nukes is a unique book. In it, world-renowned nuclear and aerospace engineer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Robert Zubrin explains how nuclear power works and how much it has to offer humanity. He\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003edebunks the toxic falsehoods that have been spread to dissuade us from using it by variously the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eignorant, the fearful, the fanatical, and by cynical political operatives bought and paid for by\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ecompeting interests. He tells about revolutionary developments in the field, including new\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ereactor types that can be cheaply mass produced, that cannot be made to melt down no matter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehow hard their operators try, that use a new fuel called thorium far more plentiful than uranium,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eand still more advanced systems, employing thermonuclear fusion - the power that lights the sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- to extract more energy from a gallon of water than can be obtained from 300 gallons of\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003egasoline. He tells about the bold entrepreneurs - a totally different breed from the government\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eofficials who created the existing types of nuclear reactors - who are leading this revolution in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003epower technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut there are broader issues involved in the nuclear debate than technology alone, and Zubrin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eis not shy about addressing them. He makes clear the critical difference between practical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eenvironmentalism, which seeks to improve the environment for the benefit of humanity, and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eideological environmentalism, which seeks to use instances of human insult to natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eenvironment as evidence for a prosecutorial case against human liberty. He shows how the latter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eschool of thought is wrong, not only with respect to the catastrophic harm it would do to\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehumanity, but to nature as well. He also exposes the masters of mercenary environmentalism,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ewho deploy troops of dupes to shut down companies or whole industries in order to eliminate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ecompetition in return for being suitably rewarded by the beneficiaries of such efforts. He shows\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ethat when it comes to environmental improvement, freedom is not the problem; freedom is the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003esolution. He makes clear both the possibility and necessity of a nuclear-power-enabled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003erevolution in the human condition by putting it in a broader historical context of the overall process of development of civilization, whereby new technologies create new resources and new knowledge, which in turn make possible still more technological advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, Zubrin brings all this to bear to address the greatest threat facing humanity today\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- which is the possibility that we will turn on each other, as we did in the 20 th century, under the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003espell of the false idea that resources are finite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly in a world of unlimited resources can all men and women be brothers and sisters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly in a world of freedom can resources be unlimited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the world we can, and must, create. In The Case for Nukes, Zubrin shows us how.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54231877550443,"sku":"YSL27060","price":5.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/1674\/0203\/files\/61xd6YdI93L._SY1500.jpg?v=1792835288","url":"https:\/\/www.booktavero.com\/products\/b0bxpcz33k","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
