This text examines occupational, public health, and environmental risks of the coal fuel cycle, the nuclear fuel cycle, and unconventional energy technologies. Includes detailed coverage of the relationship between energy economics and risk analysis, assessing the problems of applying traditional cost-benefit analysis to long-term environmental problems (such as global carbon dioxide levels), questions about the public's perception and acceptance of risk, global risks associated with current and proposed levels of energy production and consumption from all major sources.
