Profiles in power : the antinuclear movement and the dawn of the solar age
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
