Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation
Autor Jack Spencer Cuvânt înainte de Steve Mooreen Limba Engleză Carte – 26 noi 2024
Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Going Nuclear: Reestablishing American Commercial Nuclear Dominance, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades.
Skeptics say that nuclear energy is too expensive and threatens the world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons material and radioactive waste. Proponents say that nuclear power needs and deserves the support of the state and the taxpayer, cradle to grave. The time has come, Spencer argues, to think big nuclear energy and pull it out of the time capsule that pop culture, environmental activists, lobbyists, peaceniks, and policymakers are all too content to leave nuclear in.
Spencer writes that while the government-industry partnership that defined the early years of America’s commercial nuclear rise was essential to the nation’s security, reluctance to modernize that relationship has prevented the American nuclear industry from reaching its full potential. In its place, Spencer offers an alternative that shatters how we think about nuclear energy policy and realigns the responsibilities of government and industry with the incentives that will drive America to success.
Going Nuclear describes why government intervention in the nuclear industry is a problem, how to move from the status quo to something new, and why such reforms will kick off an era of nuclear entrepreneurship and innovation. Over 70 years ago, nuclear energy entered the scene with great promise. Now more than ever, the world needs that promise delivered, and America can lead the way.

Recenzii
“Jack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of America’s great conservative thinkers.”
Members of Congress agree on very few things. Bipartisanship is extremely rare in politics today. Confronting and containing an expansive China is one policy where there is widespread consensus. The other area of agreement, surprisingly, is the indispensable role of nuclear energy in the twenty-first century. In his thought-provoking new book, Nuclear Revolution, Jack Spencer chronicles this transformation in energy politics and policy and offers an alternative free-market approach to realizing nuclear’s full potential. Driven by climate concerns and energy security risks globally—and with AI now surging energy demand—nuclear is the one clean, secure, and abundant energy source. Spencer’s candid assessment of where we have over-subsidized, over-regulated, and overblown expectations is an important wake-up call and a timely prescription for rethinking energy policy in the US and globally.
Jack Spencer makes a convincing and entertaining argument that nuclear power, while an essential part of the American energy portfolio, is not a cureall for whatever risk one might assign to climate change, nor is it likely to prosper from increased federal ‘support.’ Along the way, he cuts holes in the politicians, special interest groups, and bureaucrats who have decided to make choices for the rest of us with respect to everything from cars to uranium fuel, and who have, in his words, ‘created entire narratives about energy scarcity and environmental degradation to justify their power grabs.’ Buy the book, get some popcorn, and enjoy the ride.
"In Nuclear Revolution, Jack Spencer lays out the conservative’s approach to igniting a resurgence of nuclear energy in the U.S. You may not agree with his take, but he brings receipts to the discussion and provides a point of view that can’t be ignored." -- Criag Piercy, Executive Director and CEO, American Nuclear Society
"President Ronald Reagan said “Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it:” As Jack points out in Nuclear Revolution, the same holds true of the government’s view of this vital component of our nation’s energy mix. Policy failures, fearmongering, and just plain bad decision-making has veered the nuclear power industry way off track. Jack breaks these down one by one and corrects the many myths about nuclear technology along the way. No one knows what the future holds for nuclear power, but this book provides a policy roadmap to at least give it a greater opportunity to compete for the reliable electrons necessary to power our future.” -- Thomas Pyle, President, Institute for Energy Research

"The economic and environmental advantages of nuclear power are clear. Although some argue that nuclear energy is too expensive, the majority of the costs are tied to construction. As Jack points out in Nuclear Revolution, reactors don’t need to take decades to complete. Streamlining the government approval process can make nuclear energy cost-effective and Jack brings an interesting perspective on how to achieve that." -- Florence Lowe-Lee, President and Founder, Global America Business Initiative (GABI)
