About this title

Synopsis

Dr. Rocks, a research chemist engaged in environmental issues at Long Island University, and Dr. Runyon, dean of the science department, also at LIU, document both the stark realities of our disappearing oil, gas, and coal, and our nuclear bungling – showing how this developed decade by decade. Further, they provide clear proposals for what must be done, immediately, to prevent or alleviate the collapse of our way of life.
