10. In the 60-year history of nuclear power

Has it ever displaced enough fossil fuels to cause a drop in global CO2 emissions? Like renewable energy, it's largely additive to fossil fuel consumoption. Nuclear power and hydro probably helped slow the rise of CO2 emissions in the 70's, but low-carbon power has never, in the last 200 years, been able to reverse the rise of atmospheric CO2.

You can wax as contemptuous as you wish, but it won't change the simple fact that we need to leave the rest of the carbon in the ground. We're not doing that so far, and I see nothing in the policy pipeline today that will accomplish it.
