Cool It

Did you know that if everything recommended in the UN IPCC AR4 report were done, that it would have virtually no effect on global warming? Yes that's right, the expenditure of trillions will do virtually nothing. But if we started building nuclear power plants today, CO2 would be reduced with every nuclear power plant built and cheaper electrical energy would be provided. It is also true that most CO2 is due to fixed power plants, not automobiles.

Technology will advance, and when cheaper, better, lower polluting, more effecient forms of energy become available, they will be used. The market will speak. For now, nuclear power is the option that needs to be used where ever possible.
