 Nuclear power is often discussed in terms of
science,
technology,
economics and
statistics.
What's missing
is the human
face on the
story. In
writing her
book, No To Nuclear. Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives,
Derails
Climate
Progress And
Provokes War, Pence
endeavors to
explore
different ways
of telling the
nuclear story,
from the
perspective of
the people —
and sometimes
the animals —
to whom it
happens. The
wrongheaded
nuclear choice
wasn't made in
isolation.
Instead, it
appears to be
part of a
self-destructive
pathway on
which we are
now
accelerating
toward our
inevitable
demise. Can we
stop that from
happening? And
if so, how do
we communicate
the twin evils
of nuclear
power and
nuclear
weapons so
everyone can
understand it?

organization's
news platform,
Beyond Nuclear International. A former
journalist
with Reuters,
she currently
writes for the
Morning Star (UK) and Ralph Nader's Capitol Hill Citizen.
