2. nuclear only accounts for 2.4% of global energy consumption.
Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 02:57 PM by kristopher
A small buildout of nuclear isn't going to do squat about AGW except to remove the growth potential of renewables. If we build lots of renewables, nuclear power is not economically viable. If we build lots of nuclear, the gaps in the current generating structure that invite investment in renewables close, and renewables are are not economically viable.

It is an either or proposition for investors.
