Nuclear power will save the world, UN scientists claim

by edvin. Apr 30, 2007 3:37AM PDT

Leading scientists are today expected to back a major expansion of nuclear power as a way of saving the world from global warming.

Other measures in a United Nations report include the use of GM crops to produce biofuels and the "capture and storage" underground of harmful CO2 gases.

More than 2,000 scientists have contributed to the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) report and 400 of them met today in Bangkok to finalise it before publication on Friday. The report is the biggest to study the practical actions that could reduce emissions and its findings will play a key role in Kyoto negotiations which will take place in December.

All for it...

ironically, the "Greens" have made nuclear power a bad word here in the US, but in other countries, especially France, it is doing wonders. France uses nuclear extensively and they have the cleanest air and lowest electric bills in Europe. And they are not held hostage to the Mideast (at least not for energy).

Nuclear power is clean and does not produce greenhouse gases. Frankly, any scheme for non-carbon energy that does not rely heavily on nuclear power cannot be taken seriously.

The Greenies need to rethink their stance. In a way THEY are responsible for Global Warming by their opposition to nuclear.
