In the past, I have been hesitant to call for a major expansion of nuclear power only because of the expected world-wide climate crisis related to carbon...
From: "schedule80" <schedule80@...> ... Then don't say, "we should expand nuclear energy because Al Gore is concerned about greenhouse gas emissions from...
... Carbon dioxide alarmists sound like fools or natural gas rent-seekers when they say, we must get our CO2 emissions down, urgently! Oh, but not that way. ...
Be careful with correlating shrinking glaciers to carbon dioxide levels. For one, those glaciers have probably been melting ever since the little ice age...
