Nuclear Energy Is Green Energy
This is quite possibly the most important book about energy in a generation. Americans have been fed a steady diet of half-truths, misinformation, urban legends, and outright fabrications about energy.
We have grown fearful of nuclear power but as Tucker makes clear, nuclear energy is terrestrial energy, the same process that heats the center of the earth to 7,000oF. It is clean, natural, wholesome, and today, thirty years after we began construction of our last new reactor, it still supplies nearly 20 percent of our electrical energy needs.
What about the waste? It is much less alarming when you consider that the reason America has a nuclear waste problem is because we fail to recycle our spent fuel rods.
Tucker is not content to merely give an argument about why nuclear is the best choice for our energy future. Instead, he meticulously surveys the entire scene, including the "renewable" sources--wind, solar, biofuels--and their promise of clean, plentiful power. Each has its place in America's energy mix but each has serious limitations.
Now is the perfect moment to renew our commitment to use the greatest scientific discovery of the 20th century--the fulfillment of Einstein's formula, E=mc2--as the forwardthinking solution to our nation's energy dilemma.

Ordinary People Reshaping America
Jack Calhoun's impressive resume, including 20 years as CEO of the National Crime Prevention Council, doesn't reveal one thing. At some point, he lost touch with the bedrock of his work--the faith and passion that had galvanized him as a young man.

These 24 community heroes have an endless supply of energy and selflessness, and in conversations with Calhoun, they reveal its hidden source.
