From the publication:
IT SOUNDS MORE AND MORE LIKE AN EMPTY ADVERTISING SLOGAN: 'NUCLEAR ENERGY GIVES YOU A CLEANER WASH'. CAN NUCLEAR POWER HELP MAN REDUCE C02 EMISSIONS AND AVOID CLIMATE CHANGE? JAN WILLEM STORM VAN LEEUWEN EXPLAINS THE FACTS ON BEHALF OF GROENLINKS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION. HIS RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS SO-CALLED CLEAN ENERGY SOURCE DOES NOT, AND CANNOT, LIVE UP TO THE CLAIMS MADE ON ITS BEHALF. THIS BROCHURE EXAMINES TWO INDICATORS - GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND ENERGY RECOVERY TIME -TO EXPLODE THE MYTH THAT NUCLEAR ENERGY IS A CLEAN ENERGY SOURCE. NUCLEAR ENERGY HAS FAILED. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND ENERGY-SAVING PROGRAMMES ARE THE ONLY SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATE PROBLEM, FOR WEALTHY NATIONS AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ALIKE.
