Atomic Show 112 – Chat with William Tucker, Author of Terrestrial Energy

ByRod Adams

William Tucker has written a new book titled Terrestrial Energy: How Nuclear Power Will Lead the Green Revolution and End America’s Energy Odyssey. On Atomic Show #112, I spoke with Bill on November 2, 2008 about why he thinks of nuclear power as “terrestrial energy”, why he wrote a book about nuclear power, his efforts to promote it and about the importance of America’s energy choices. Please go and have a listen and tell me what you think.
