Changing the human dialog on nuclear energy. Now that’s rad!

The nuclear survival kit from Isabelle Boemeke has arrived. She is a nuclear energy influencer, and her book is clear, compelling and full of graphic illustrations.

Consider the harm done by fear-mongering to date. Had the world fully embraced nuclear instead of coal 65 years ago, the majority of anthropogenic CO2 would not exist in the atmosphere today. Nixon had such a plan, and had it happened, the U.S. would have had 100% clean electricity today.

Beyond the millions of dead from coal particulates, and potentially billions to come from climate change, the human dialog on nuclear energy has directly killed more people from stress than nuclear energy itself. Fear has failed us.

Here’s a photo I took of lifelong environmentalist Stewart Brand at the end of the nuclear power debate at TED 2010
Brand wrote in his book Whole Earth Discipline: "Coal is now understood to be the long-term systemic horror we once thought nuclear was.”

Nuclear was so safe that the nuclear fear mongering did more harm than nuclear energy itself! “Fear of radiation is a far more important health threat than radiation itself.” The WHO analysis of Chernobyl’s long-term effects concluded that stress from radiation fears has killed more people than radiation itself.
