I, too, am not casual about environmental issues, and because of that, I think there is a role for nuclear power. However, I have changed views when the data require a change. Nuclear doesn't emit hydrocarbons and doesn't create radiation, but transforms soluble radium which can leetch into the groundwater and makes it controlled and insoluble. We don't get coal mine disasters or oil spills from nuclear. Except for Chenoble (sp), the track record of nuclear is far better than fossil fuels. Furthermore, the answer to a scientific question is by data and not by a political vote. We both know of political votes that were irrational. Why has Mars warmed up? My main point was that your attack on the motives of people who disagree with you was unwarranted. I know sincere scientists studying this area who conclude that the threat of global warming is unsupported by data. You didn't refer to the recent ice-age and the environmental disaster that cooling would entail. In addition, smoke stack emissions are hardly laboratory pure carbon dioxide but contain enormous particulate matter. I live near a power station and the soot on my roof is enormous. fred
