About the Author

"Meredith Angwin is a passionate advocate for clean, safe, affordable nuclear energy. Her pioneering work in favor of nuclear energy has been called “legendary” by other pro-nuclear advocates.

She also works to protect the interests of electricity consumers (that is, all of us). In this role, she serves on the Coordinating Committee for the Consumer Liaison Group of ISO-NE, the New England grid operator.

Meredith holds an MS in physical chemistry from the University of Chicago. In her research career, she was inventor on several patents in pollution control for fossil fuels and did extensive work in corrosion control for nuclear plants.

Meredith was one of the first women project managers at the Electric Power Research Institute, starting in the renewables group and later moving to the nuclear group. She founded a small company that consulted on corrosion control and water chemistry. Her clients included natural gas pipeline operators and fossil, nuclear, and renewable power plants all over the world.

Her nuclear advocacy work includes writing, speaking at hearings, and organizing rallies. For this work, she received a President’s Citation from the American Nuclear Society. Meredith publishes at the blogs Yes Vermont Yankee, Northwest Clean Energy, and ANS Nuclear Café. She also publishes in nuclear industry trade magazines and local newspapers."

Editorial Reviews

... Campaigning for Clean Air (is) perhaps a pro-nuclear advocacy equivalent of Carville and Begala's Buck Up, Suck Up which they, a pair of Democrat strategists, wrote ... during George W. Bush's ascendancy.

Steve Aplin

Like the best how-to books, Meredith's little instruction book for budding nuclear advocates is punchy, filled with practical exercises, gives step by step instruction with options and provides pointers to additional sources of help and information. It's well organized and motivating; there are times when you want to simply put down the book and take one of her recommended actions to see how it works and feels.

Rod Adams

Campaigning for Clean Air by Meredith Angwin is perhaps the best book on activism I have ever read -- and I have read my share of them. It is written specifically for pro-nuclear advocacy, but the same techniques could be used in support of nearly any other cause.

Eric Schmitz

Meredith Angwin has done a service to pro-nuclear environmentalists with her book. Actually, "book" might be more of a misnomer, it's more of a user's manual for all the power you didn't realize you had as an individual to affect policy change.
