The role
that nuclear power might play in addressing the problem of
man-made global warming is being fiercely disputed among
environmentalists. Two new books by big names in the movement
stake out the boundaries of that debate. On the pro-nuclear side
stands
Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto by
Stewart Brand. And parked in the (more or less) anti-nuclear
corner is
Our
Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis by Al Gore.
Reason Science Correspondent Ronald Bailey notes that
both are energy socialists, but declares Brand the winner.
