  • Global Climate Change - The Technology Challenge

    Edited by Frank Princiotta ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    In order to avoid the potentially catastrophic impacts of global warming, the current 3% CO2 global emission growth rate must be transformed to a 1 to 3% declining rate, as soon as possible. This will require a rapid and radical transformation of the world’s energy production and end use systems. The current generation of energy technologies are not capable of achieving the level of mitigation ... Read more

  • The Nuclear Imperative

    A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis (More Physics for Presidents)

    by Jeff Eerkens ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    In this well documented global wake-up call, nuclear physicist Jeff Eerkens explores remedies for the impending energy crisis, when oil and natural gas are depleted. Because burning coal worsens the problem of global warming, alternate energy sources must be instituted. The Nuclear Imperative demonstrates with scientific documentation that solar, wind, and biomass power alone, while helpful, are ... Read more
