<p>âJack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of Americaâs great conservative thinkers.â</p>
- WILLIAM MARTIN, Former Deputy Energy Secretary; Chair, Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee
<p>Members of Congress agree on very few things. Bipartisanship is extremely rare in politics today. Confronting and containing an expansive China is one policy where there is widespread consensus. The other area of agreement, surprisingly, is the indispensable role of nuclear energy in the twenty-first century. In his thought-provoking new book, Nuclear Revolution, Jack Spencer chronicles this transformation in energy politics and policy and offers an alternative free-market approach to realizing nuclearâs full potential. Driven by climate concerns and energy security risks globallyâand with AI now surging energy demandânuclear is the one clean, secure, and abundant energy source. Spencerâs candid assessment of where we have over-subsidized, over-regulated, and overblown expectations is an important wake-up call and a timely prescription for rethinking energy policy in the US and globally.</p>

<p>Jack Spencer makes a convincing and entertaining argument that nuclear power, while an essential part of the American energy portfolio, is not a cureall for whatever risk one might assign to climate change, nor is it likely to prosper from increased federal âsupport.â Along the way, he cuts holes in the politicians, special interest groups, and bureaucrats who have decided to make choices for the rest of us with respect to everything from cars to uranium fuel, and who have, in his words, âcreated entire narratives about energy scarcity and environmental degradation to justify their power grabs.â Buy the book, get some popcorn, and enjoy the ride.</p>

<p>"In Nuclear Revolution, Jack Spencer lays out the conservativeâs approach to igniting a resurgence of nuclear energy in the U.S. You may not agree with his take, but he brings receipts to the discussion and provides a point of view that canât be ignored." -- Criag Piercy, Executive Director and CEO, American Nuclear Society</p>
<p>"President Ronald Reagan said âGovernment's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it:â As Jack points out in Nuclear Revolution, the same holds true of the governmentâs view of this vital component of our nationâs energy mix. Policy failures, fearmongering, and just plain bad decision-making has veered the nuclear power industry way off track. Jack breaks these down one by one and corrects the many myths about nuclear technology along the way. No one knows what the future holds for nuclear power, but this book provides a policy roadmap to at least give it a greater opportunity to compete for the reliable electrons necessary to power our future.â -- Thomas Pyle, President, Institute for Energy Research</p>

<p>"The economic and environmental advantages of nuclear power are clear. Although some argue that nuclear energy is too expensive, the majority of the costs are tied to construction. As Jack points out in Nuclear Revolution, reactors donât need to take decades to complete. Streamlining the government approval process can make nuclear energy cost-effective and Jack brings an interesting perspective on how to achieve that." -- Florence Lowe-Lee, President and Founder, Global America Business Initiative (GABI)</p>
