PROGRESS AND ITS SUSTAINABILITY

Interesting site.  Chock full of actual data about nuclear energy, threats to survival and sustainability for the long run.
This Web page and its satellites are aimed at showing that human material progress is desirable and sustainable. People have worried about many problems. These pages discuss energy in general, nuclear energy, solar energy, food supply, population, fresh water supply, forests and wood supply, global engineering, pollution, biodiversity, various menaces to human survival, the role of ideology in discussing these matters, useful references. Other problems are discussed in the main text including minerals and pollution.
By John McCarthy,  professor (emeritus) of computer science.  Which does not mean he knows his stuff, but the odds are better that he does than if he was (say) teaching Feminist Theory at USC.
