DESCRIPTION:Nuclear Energy as a viable electric baseload supply option\n\nA
 bundant energy is the base for advanced societies. America succeeded only 
 because of a coal base that drove our manufacturing machines\, and now we 
 add the increased national power needed to drive our computers. We are bei
 ng squeezed by two forces. The first is that our coal and oil burning does
  inflict lethal (yes\, lethal) damage. The second is that coal and oil hav
 e finite resource lifetimes. They are a fixed resource that we burn huge a
 mounts by the minute.\n\nWhat are the energy options? That is what this ta
 lk is about. Let’s look at the pluses and minuses of each energy path. T
 here is a logical path\, and that is the main thrust of this talk and the 
 accompanying book. This is Professor Hawkins’ fifth book\, and it is off
 ered free to the public.\n\nData indicates that nuclear power is the only 
 resource that can provide dependable\, safe\, pollution-free emission\, an
 d when delivered in safe and small reactor designs it can be mass produced
  in a near plug and play configuration at a competitive cost. A digital ve
 rsion of the Book will be distributed free to attendees.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ch
