On the other hand, they were just barely able get us down to a safe level without it.

They have destroyed their own credibility, which is a great shame.<br /><br />I would far rather get my information from sources that are open and fair with their calculations, such as Barry Brook's blog, orTony Wildishhttp://www.wildish.eu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720983493149160502.post-7054278389948097992009-11-01T10:52:49.691-08:002009-11-01T10:52:49.691-08:00Keep in mind, cost of construction here in the US ...Keep in mind, <a href="http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~blc/book/chapter9.html" rel="nofollow">cost of construction here in the US</a> is different from places like China (number one emitter) and Russia.Russ Finleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509704979878559600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720983493149160502.post-2490828353118258332009-11-01T10:29:24.519-08:002009-11-01T10:29:24.519-08:00I tend to agree with Monbiot:

They have gone as far as fabricating numbers in their G8 scorecards to make nuclear power look bad because they are so strongly opposed to it.<br /><br />Nuclear energy can be made clean, safe, proliferation-resistant, and unappealing for terrorists to attack (there will always be easier Tony Wildishhttp://www.wildish.eu/noreply@blogger.com
