Actually, I did support nukular energy until I realized that's actually
much more polluting as far as carbon goes. Lots of people, including me,
forgot about all the mining, refining, processing required. It's not a
panacea, and it's only clean at the end of the process (not really though
if you think about the long-term storage requirements for the spent fuel
rods).

I would certainly support fusion, but that's still many decades away.


I love the nuclear arguments. The NIMBYs' scream no. The safety crowd
says no. The what do you do with the waste crowd says no.

And all the time there are scores of nuclear warships in or near every
major US port.

Fortunately, they don't dump their waste in ports. I like New Zealand's
policy (not sure if it's changed). They don't allow NPowered ships in their
ports.
