FYI: One of the issues Mr. Brand discusses is nuclear energy. For my recent book on the topic he was also kind enough to provide a back cover blurb. One of the problems with thinking about nuclear power is that most people have no real world experience to go on - just academic papers and propaganda from both sides (boring!), and TV movies (silly). I've used my 20+ years in the nuclear industry to write an insider's account in an entertaining format, a thriller novel called "Rad Decision." It is available free online at RadDecision.blogspot.com No advertisting, no sponsors, no $$ for the author (even from the paperback at Amazon) - just the real world of nuclear, good and bad.
