Quandaries
Volume III in Reactor

Quandaries

1994–2030

I’m hoping to release the finale of the REACTOR trilogy in 2030.

Clearly I cannot say much at all about this QUANDARIES volume, since at this point I’ve only reached 1957 in the trilogy’s 85-year timeline! But I believe my research, thinking, and writing promises to be my most enjoyable period of all. This is the era when nuclear energy stands as the most controversial energy source, even as the climate crisis suggests its low-emissions-profile might be needed by humanity.

If I have viewed Volume I through pro-nuclear eyes, and Volume II largely through anti-nuclear eyes, how do I tackle a time when half the world heralds power reactors as Anthropocene salvation while the other half fears it as the work of the devil?
