PALGRAVE MACMILLAN: 2012. 272 pp. £18.99
A key difficulty in mitigating climate change stems from the technological challenges in replacing fossil fuels, which — despite their drawbacks — are an extraordinarily rich energy source. In this book, writer Richard Martin introduces thorium as a nuclear fuel, inviting us to look at how nuclear energy might have developed differently during the Cold War era and its potential contribution to an energy revolution.
