Nuclear energy is "green", both safe and non polluting and given proper
reprocessing, largely renewable.


Nuclear is also the only source that is currently viable at the scale
necessary to eliminate coal and nat gas fueled generation, and further
to provide subsidized charging electricity for electric/hybrid vehicles
to further reduce oil consumption.


Nuclear is the only viable intermediate source that can allow a
significant shift away from fossil fuels *now* while the technologies
for other sources such as solar, wind, hydro and tidal develop further
to overcome the significant issues they currently have, largely the
utility scale energy storage capabilities required given the
intermittent generation of most of those sources.


plus you have to remember that the greenies are against dams,
so that kills hydropower,and they are against windmills because they kill
birds.
They also are against the power lines necessary to distribute the electric
power from remote windfarms.(or any other power generating source...)

Their concept is that you DO WITHOUT;Reduce your lifestyle.

Meanwhile Russia,Iran,Venezuela,other countries all are proceeding with new
nuclear powerplants.

Nebenzahl is just a Luddite.

MORE nuclear power,NOW!

You should have put it slightly differently. Their concept is that
YOU DO WITHOUT just like Gore wanted everyone (But Him) to do without
while he continued to burn more energy that any 50 other people in the
country. They never want to look in the mirror at their own
consumption but are quick to ask YOU to sacrifice.
