Out guest, Joshua S. Goldstein, has a well-researched book called "A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow."

His book suggests that nuclear energy holds the key to stopping man-made global climate destruction. He states it's too big a problem or the incremental and modest advances offered by alternative energy. The only hope is a commitment to nuclear power across the developing world and the richest, most developed countries.

He wrote the book with research and writing partner Staffan A. Qvist, a nuclear engineer. So the two have a foundation of credibility as they look to the successes of other nations who are tackling climate and energy issues using nuclear power grids.
