A huge nuclear explosion would also do the trick.

Huge nuclear expansion needed to curb climate change

nice sentiment, but seeing as how climate change is not caused by man, the only thing that would help any global warming scenario, would be for the big nuke in the sky, the SUN, to go into a less energetic mode, and when this happens all the planets in the solar system that have been experiencing shrinking ice caps etc, will benefit...

We need nuke plants but not because of global warming.

The Keystone panellists also said that US President George W.Bush's Global Nuclear Energy Partnership could help countries and groups interested in building nuclear weapons obtain plutonium, the key ingredient in those munitions, which could help spread nuclear weapons.

A reassertion of Jimmy Carters fallacy that spent nuclear fuel could be easily diverted to nuclear weapons production

The extraction of Plutonium from spent nuclear reactor fuel requires a huge industrial complex and generates vast quantities of highly toxic, highly radioactive chemical waste.

This type of industrial facility could only be built by a national government or with the consent of a national government if built by a private enterprise. Such a facility could not be built covertly by a terrorist group.

Just more leftist scare tactics.

During the first energy crisis in the 1970’s the environmentalist wacko slogan was “Split wood not atoms” since wood was a “natural” and renewable resource. It is ironic that the latest environmentalist crowd may have to ban wood burning and embrace nuclear power to save us from global warming.
