And, suppose no one of consequence follows.

Oh wait, John Kerry is involved. Now I understand.

All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of
binary thinking.
If these people who keep saying there is global warming actually
believed the entire earth was warming, and it was going to create
a global catastrophe, they would be 100% behind nuclear power.
There are no green house gases from a nuclear power plant.
Until I hear they have started building nuclear plants to prevent
global warming I will accept it for what it is, politics.
I agree with this post.

So if they start building nuclear power plants you'll instantly
believe it's really happening????

There are some people who believe the only long term economical
solution for the energy deficiency is nuclear power. Duke Power in
Eastern Carolina has also started the permit process to build
several new additions to existing nuclear plants. However before
they can build they must negotiate the many regulations that were
designed to kill the nuclear industry. (On topic: One of the best
fishing and sailing lakes in the Raleigh area is the 4000 acre
Harris lake that is the part of the cooling system for the Sharon
Harris nuclear plant. )
The THEY I was talking about are obama, pelosi, gore and other who
continual say we have global warming but will not support the
nuclear energy industry. Even the Cap and trade tax bill which is
suppose to be in response to global warming gives no significant
support for nuclear energy.
I didn't know the U.S. government was in the nuclear power plant
building industry. I'm quite liberal in my views, and I'm all for
nuclear power. Funny how I can do that, huh? I don't goose step to
any party.
The Federal Government is in the Non building nuclear power plant
business. The regulations make it so.
Just where would you geniuses store all the spent radioactive materials
generated by these plants for the next 10 thousand years??
Halifax can't get any worse.
Our resident idiot makes it sound like there will be tons and tons of
waste daily. And the idiot also doesn't realize that coal and oil power
plants make many more tons of pollutants daily than a nuke plant would.
It's just that the conventional plants spew it into the air, where
according to some, it does no damage.
You simple minded moron.
Can't remember Three Mile Island?
http://www.lutins.org/nukes.html
Yup, and it released much less radiation than a 1/2 day of the radiation
that coal fired plants release. And 3 mile had a couple problems. The
idiot who shut down the cooling was an affirmative action hire. Not hired
because he was capable. I am not saying minorities can not do the job, but
hire a competant minority. Lots of those. And the French build every plant
the same. Exactly the same layout, same controls. So anybody trained in
any plant can go to another plant. Even the bathrooms are located the same.
I think the most we ever build the same was 2.
