Even though I personally think man-made global warming is CRAP. I think we can pretend it is real and do some things to reduce our CO2 levels. This is where I draw the line, however. Anybody that doesn’t come out and push nuclear power as an alternative should not be in the debate.

Get this, there has not been a nuclear power plant built in the United States since 1970!! There have been gabs and gabs of advances in that area since then. Nuclear power is clean, safe, and low cost.

It’s pretty easy to say, hey, lets just build cars that plug in and recharge so we can stop using gas. Yeah, that sounds good, but where do you think electricity comes from? A magical fairy who spreads electric dust in the air? No. The majority comes from coal. That’s right, over 50% of our electricity generated in the United States comes from coal plants. Guess what, that isn’t gonna change anytime soon. We have enough coal in this country to power us for a long, long time. So, if we use more electricity and less gas, there is a good chance we will use more coal. That’s not good.

We are using more coal anyway, new coal plants are being built all over the country. Nuclear HAS to be an option. Even the founder of Greenpeace is onboard with nuclear energy.

So, those are my thoughts.. I think global warming is a more of a religion, not a science. Read some of my links below. It still is in our best interests to reduce our carbon dependency. If you are not for nuclear power, however, you don’t really care about stopping global warming.. you are a commie.. There, I said it.
