![]() ![]() He argues that nuclear power is essential for space exploration and settlement and has the potential to provide a clean and reliable source of energy that can accelerate human space exploration of the solar system. Zubrin also discusses the potential benefits of nuclear power beyond Earth. Zubrin also shows the urgency of unleashing energy abundance, arguing that a future of bountiful energy could help preserve the liberty that scarcity often imperils. In addition to promoting nuclear power as a solution to some of society’s problems, Zubrin’s broader thesis discusses the relationship between energy abundance and freedom, arguing that energy technology “is the foundation for freedom.” He posits that free societies are better able to produce energy, and access to more energy liberates mankind. ![]() Many positive reviews are coming in, such as this one from Reason magazine, and I want to join those who are hailing this as an influential and thought-provoking work. Robert Zubrin’s latest book, The Case for Nukes, provides a sweeping history of energy technology advances and presents a compelling and detailed defense of one of humanity’s most promising yet misunderstood sources of energy.
