Description
Jerry Brown and Rinaldo Brutoco's Profiles in Power presents, in five case studies, the compelling stories of ten individual "Davids" who have made a difference against the nuclear "Goliath." Brown and Brutoco also profile the conservationists and the energy entrepreneurs who have explored "soft energy" alternatives to fossil fuel, offering a preferable alternative to the nuclear paradigm. Brown and Brutoco provide their readers with an uplifting chronicle of the democratic process, a thorough account of the energy debate in the United States, and a history of one of the most important social movements of the twentieth century. The authors also move beyond a critique of the nuclear industry to the presentation of creative solutions that offer hope of climate stabilization and a sustainable solar future.
