Excellent book overall. More restrained that I expected, but seems to treat the subject quite reasonably.
One thing I disagree with:
When he says that nuclear waste is overestimated because it's not that radioactive anymore after 15,000 years, he's missed one of the reasons nuclear waste is so horrible. My understanding was that the chemical toxicity is worse than the radiation in the long run.
Still, it does seem important to find a way to use nuclear power in the future.
