Nuclear energy is back. Despite Three Mile Island. Despite nuclear proliferation. And over the vehement objections of environmentalists. Why? Because climate change over the last 10 years has radically upped the stakes. The increase in greenhouse gases caused by the rapid use of hydrocarbons places humanity in an ever- tightening vice. On one side, global warming; on the other, the devastating impact of petroleum. Is civil nuclear energy the answer? Is the resurgence of nuclear energy a pact with the devil? These questions are no longer academic.
