While we’re on the subject of climate change, let’s stipulate that reasonable people can and do disagree about how dire the danger to the planet is. But what’s utterly tiresome is the preening and posturing we must endure from people who claim to be EXTREMELY alarmed about climate change and then shoot off a little pop gun in response like having the Navy use renewable fuel or tweaking CAFE standards. If you’re serious about the risks of global warming, then endorse nuclear power. President Obama could be traipsing around the countryside promoting more nuclear plants. It could be done with the right leadership. France gets 75 percent of its electricity from nuclear power. But Obama hardly ever mentions nuclear power, because his unscientific, superstitious base got spooked by Three Mile Island and “The China Syndrome” and they don’t want to hear that it’s actually safe and relatively inexpensive and great for reducing CO2 emissions.
