Nuclear power and the environment / Helen Caldicott.

Helen Caldicott, noted environmental and world health advocate, speaks out against nuclear technology, the environmental crisis, corporate greed, and the power of citizens. She begins by comparing United States nationalism to Australian socialism, and how nationalism has created support for the military-industrial complex. She continues by discussing the role of Third World peoples in multinational corporate production and exchange, and argues for eliminating the military budget as a way to fund human needs. Nuclear weapons, she warns, are not being destroyed. The waste left from these weapons will exist for generations, contaminating food and water the world around. Our urban environments are poisoned, she continues, and corporate money must be bypassed if our world is to be cleaned up. She concludes with a call for a simpler, more communal, form of existance as a solution for the international crisis.|NUCLEAR POWER AND THE ENVIRONMENT / Helen Caldicott. - Helen Caldicott, noted environmental and world health advocate, speaks out against nuclear technology, the environmental crisis, corporate greed, and the power of citizens.
