Do you believe in AGW? No - not to the extent yelled about. I believe there may be some weak correlations to CO2 and temperature - but not meaningful ones.>> So you do think there may be some weak correlation. Hmm! But you feel there is no chance a weak correlation might become a strong correlation? How about all the mercury being spread around the world by coal fired power plants? <<What would you do? For AGW - nothing.>> Just do nothing, huh? So why the need for nuclear power plants? Why not jsut keep using coal. Plenty of coal for a 1,000 years and it is cheaper. <<I would work on energy conservation and efficiency that would have associated things to attract guys like you. For instance - how about we build several hundred nukes - think of the jobs that would create - and oh yeah - reduce CO2 as a side effect. The waste we could put in Yuca Mountain.>> It is my understanding they are not going to use Yuca mountain as there is too much opposition. They still have no place to put the waste. And how about the fact radiation is leaking from Hanaford and working its way to the Columbia river? Does that worrry you?
