In response to their continued attack Chris Goodall, author of Ten Technologies to Save the Planet decided to dispel some widely held myths on the Guardian website. Highlights include: Nuclear power is cheaper than other low-carbon energy sources and Electric cars are slow and ugly.

Chris Goodall's new book, Ten Technologies to Save the Planet, is published by Profile books, priced £9.99.
