James C. Williams, PhD Biography
Emeritus Professor of History at De Anza College
"While nuclear energy has not gone away and is still seen by many people as one of the best solutions to human energy needs, other energy resources such as solar, wind, and biomass also offer promise.
No matter where people find the energy to support their cultures and societies, it is plain that human life has been dominated by the age-old necessity for energy."
