Synopsis

Thorium Reactor Future explores the potential of thorium reactors as a sustainable energy source, diving into the science, safety, and challenges of this nuclear technology. The book emphasizes a balanced view, acknowledging thorium's promise without overlooking the hurdles to widespread adoption. Unlike uranium reactors, thorium reactors offer the potential for reduced plutonium production and enhanced safety features. The book traces nuclear technology's evolution, contrasting uranium and thorium fuel cycles while making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience.

 
The book examines various thorium reactor designs, including molten salt reactors and advanced heavy water reactors. It methodically progresses, presenting the science behind thorium, comparing reactor designs, and then tackling the economic and political barriers to deployment. The analysis incorporates scientific studies and reactor performance data to support its arguments. Overcoming these challenges, as the book argues, requires collaborative efforts across sectors.

 
The book uniquely refrains from portraying thorium as a perfect solution, offering a complete picture of both its advantages and the considerable challenges ahead. Aimed at scientists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of nuclear energy, this book provides a fact-based, objective perspective on thorium's potential to reshape energy production and contribute to climate change mitigation.

The Planet You Inherit - Letters...

Larry L. Rasmussen

For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
 
 
 
Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
 
 
 
From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.

Rooted Faith - Practices for...

Sarah Renee Werner

Embrace the call to live differently on this fragile planet.   As temperatures rise, natural disasters wreak devastation, and precious species die off one by one, we know we must change how we live in the world. But how? What would it look like if we took seriously the biblical charge to live more peacefully and gently on our fragile planet, if we understood ourselves as neighbors in a community of creation? Rooted Faith explores the future of the church called to live differently—one of reinhabiting our particular landscapes and confronting the assumptions of consumer culture head-on through our lives and actions.   Drawing on Scripture, Christian history, and practical theology, author Sarah Renee Werner invites readers into a new way of seeing ourselves in relationship with the rest of creation. She offers tangible practices for opening up our hearts to both the beauty and tragedy around us and guides us toward meaningful action to restore creation. There has never been a more crucial moment to reclaim this overlooked aspect of our faith as we seek to live differently—live well—on this fragile planet.

- Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry.
- They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done.
- Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials.
- Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized.
- Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause.
- It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business.
- They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock.
- We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.
- We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities.

Thinking Small and Large: How...

Peter Forbes

The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places. 
 
Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production. 
 
In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.
