Too Dumb to Meter: Follies, Fiascoes, Dead Ends and Duds on the U.S. Road to Atomic Energy, 2012

In this new book, journalist Kennedy Maize takes an edgy look at some of the lesser-known corners of U.S. atomic energy history. He demonstrates the United State's obsession with atoms and how the government's technological and political arrogance has wasted billions of dollars, millions of hours of effort and much of the public's confidence, all in the pursuit of the unattainable.

The book also explores the intersection of science and public policy, particularly in relation to the U.S. government's energy industry. Maize explores the creation of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy.
