The Answer to Climate Change Is Renewable Energy, Not Nuclear Power

31. We can alway count on kristopher...

We can always count on kristopher to MISREPRESENT that which he doesn't understand; including ANYTHING that comes from the National Academy of Science.

It's no wonder; if someone can't understand the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics which mankind discovered over 150 years ago; how can one expect someone to understand and faithfully represent the latest from the USA's most prestigious assemblage of scientists.

The National Academy of Sciences actually LAMENTS the fact that ill-considered opposition by "greenies" that don't understand the technology will limit what practically all scientists including the Academy agree is our best hope for avoiding the catastrophe of global warming. As James Hansen and colleagues state:

Renewables like wind and solar and biomass will certainly play roles in a future energy economy, but those energy sources cannot scale up fast enough to deliver cheap and reliable power at the scale the global economy requires. While it may be theoretically possible to stabilize the climate without nuclear power, in the real world there is no credible path to climate stabilization that does not include a substantial role for nuclear power

The generations of the future that will suffer the effects of global warming will CURSE and DAMN the anti-nuclear "environmentalists" of today.

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
