Atomic Show #112 – Terrestrial Energy is Natural Energy from Earth – Chat With William Tucker

ByRod Adams

William Tucker is the author of Terrestrial Energy: How Nuclear Power Will Lead the Green Revolution and End America’s Energy Odyssey. He spoke with Rod Adams about his book on Nov. 2, 2008

William Tucker has been writing about energy issues for decades. He first started following the nuclear energy controversy in the mid 1970s when he reviewed Amory Lovins’s book about Soft Energy.

He has now written his own book to explain why he believes that Lovins, Al Gore and other mainstream environmentalists are dead wrong to dismiss or minimize the potential of nuclear energy to meet their desire for a cleaner, less carbon intensive world.

We chatted about his book, responses he has received during his efforts to promote the book, and about America’s energy future. Hope you enjoy the conversation.

You can find Terrestrial Energy on Amazon.com.
