Nukes are back and so are we

Quicklink Submitted By Dan Merica No comments

The nuclear power industry is back to the taxpayer trough with a new cover story: nuke power will "solve global warming." In truth, Nuke power is the most expensive technological failure in US history. It can't get investors, liability insurance or a solution to its waste problem. And today, it can't compete with the renewable energy industry, which is soaring to new heights of power and profitability.

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."
