The Case for Nukes with Robert Zubrin - Searching For The Question Live #92
Robert Zubrin is an American aerospace engineer, author, and advocate for human exploration of Mars. He was the driving force behind Mars Direct, a proposal to reduce the cost and complexity of a manned mission to Mars by using the Martian atmosphere to produce oxygen, water, and rocket propellant. He founded the Mars Society in 1998 to promote this goal. He has also developed several innovative concepts for space propulsion and exploration, and has written over 200 papers and books on these topics. He holds a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Rochester, and a M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Washington.

The Case for Nukes is his latest book that will be published on April 3, 2023. In this book, he makes a strong case for using nuclear power as a clean, safe, and abundant source of energy that can help humanity beat global warming and create a prosperous and free future. He explains how nuclear power works, debunks the myths and fears that surround it, and introduces some of the new technologies and entrepreneurs that are leading the nuclear revolution. He also exposes the anti-humanist ideology and vested interests that oppose nuclear power and threaten civilization. He argues that nuclear power is not only a practical solution to our energy and environmental challenges, but also a moral imperative to protect human dignity and liberty.
