Richard Martin promotes SuperFuel: Thorium, the Green Energy Source for the Future.
Richard Martin will speak about and sign his new book, SuperFuel, on Thursday, May 10th at 7:30pm. About the book: At the dawn of the atomic age, uranium and thorium were equally important as the element of choice in researching nuclear energy. Either one could have powered the world’s reactors. But it was uranium that won out, and thorium, which is far cleaner, safer, and more abundant than uranium, was relegated to the dustbin of science. Now, as the world searches for cheap, non-carbon-emitting energy sources, thorium is reemerging as an overlooked solution. Local author Richard Martin’s new book SuperFuel challenges us to look back at what could have been different in history and forward to an energy revolution. Vouchers to attend are $5 and get you $5 off the author’s featured book or a purchase on the day of the event. Vouchers can be purchased in advance and over the phone. (jpmoore)… (more)
