"This book explains how society will face an energy crisis in the coming decades owing to increasing scarcity of fossil fuels and climate change impacts. It carefully explores this coming crisis and concisely examines all of the major technologies related to energy production (fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear) and their impacts on our society and environment. The author argues that it is wrong to pit alternatives to fossil fuels against each other and proposes that nuclear energy, although by no means free of problems, can be a viable source of reliable and carbon-free electricity. He concludes by calling for a diversified and rational mix of electricity generation in order to mitigate the effects of the energy crisis. Throughout, the book is spiced with science, history, and anecdotes in a way that ensures rewarding reading without loss of rigor."

"What emits more radioactivity into the atmosphere: a nuclear power plant or a thermal power plant? A thermal power station. What entails greater risk: to live near a nuclear power plant or smoke a cigarette? Smoking one cigarette is equivalent to the risk of living two years near a nuclear power plant. What is being done in a rush hour of energy demand if the wind blows? Is used in pumping systems or central gas reserve. The electricity can not be stored. How many wind turbines are used to replace a nuclear power plant? About two thousand, the last generation. Separated from each of the five hundred meters necessary because they are efficient and the row of mills would extend from Barcelona to Geneva, crossing the whole of France. It is a mistake to oppose each other alternative energies, it would make more sense to consider them allies in a great battle against the Dark Lord more powerful every day : climate change, which could very well destroy, within one or two centuries, our beloved and battered globalized region."
