What if climate change isn’t an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?

'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN
'Thrilling.vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER

Sunday Times, i Paper and Nature Book of the Year

This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.

Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely ‘green’, and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century’s Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future.
