Helen Caldicott[Lee Cruz]  - Founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility

Author of: Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer

Monday, October 15 @ 7.30pm- Labyrinth Books New Haven

 

Please join us for a discussion and book-signing with Nobel Peace

Prize nominee Helen Caldicott, celebrating the paperback release of

her acclaimed book, Nuclear Power is Not the Answer.

 

Helen Caldicott's look at the actual costs and environmental

consequences of nuclear energy belies the incessant barrage of nuclear

industry propaganda. Caldicott "reveals truths," Martin Sheen has

said, "that confirm we must take positive action now if we are to make

a difference." In fact, nuclear power contributes to global warming;

the true cost of nuclear power is prohibitive, with taxpayers picking

up most of the tab; there's simply not enough uranium in the world to

sustain nuclear power over the long term; and the potential for a

catastrophic accident or a terrorist attack far outweighs any

benefits. Concluding chapters detail alternative sustainable energy

sources that are the key to a clean, green future.

 

The world's leading spokesperson for the antinuclear movement, Dr.

Helen Caldicott is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and the recipient of

the 2003 Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom. A bestselling author,

Caldicott is the co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility

and president of the Nuclear Policy Research Institute. She divides

her time between Australia and the United States[Lee Cruz] .

 

This event is free and open to the public.
