The turn in matters of energy. From revolt to reform

The book is written with an entirely personal perspective, strives to take into account the latest state of knowledge and attempts to draft a future without nuclear energy at least in outline. The individual chapters have the following headings: Thirty years of development of nuclear power: dream and nightmare; The forecasts and expert opinions on the possibility of opting out - final conclusion: it can be done and is justifiable; The approach to orderly opting out: reform of our energy system. In this chapter a 10-year plan is submitted for a realistic reform of the energy economy to: save energy, reduce environmental pollution, use mainly renewable energy sources as pillars of the energy system; and leave to future generations the choice of their own lifestyle.
