non-nuclear futures: the case for an ethical energy strategy is a 1975 book by amory b. lovins and john h. price. the book says that the nuclear power debate is not about technical disputes but relates to different personal views (personal values). the personal values that make a high-energy society work are all too apparent, and the values associated with an alternate view relate to thrift, simplicity, diversity, neighbourliness, craftsmanship, and humility.
