Just as the drug war has succeeded in replacing the least dangerous non physically addictive drug of choice with a powerful, very addictive psychotic one.....The environmentalist with all of their bull shit stories and demands are getting what the least want as a solution.....nuclear power in great numbers......good one. It's amazing how the involvement of government will almost always end up a cluster fuck.

I'm sure nuclear power could be done safely but what are the chances that a bunch of semi third world countries will do it right if they even have the capability in the first place?

Europe agrees to embrace nuclear option in battle to save the planet

David Charter and Rory Watson, Brussels

The role of nuclear power in Europe received an unexpected boost yesterday as EU leaders hailed a landmark climate change deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and switch to renewable fuels.

Environmentalists complained that an ambitious headline goal to cut Europe’s CO emissions by a fifth by 2020 had been weakened by concessions to the main nuclear nations and the biggest polluters in Eastern Europe.

Nonetheless, Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, will use the agreement struck at the spring EU summit in Brussels to put pressure on world leaders to follow suit when she hosts the G8 meeting in June.

China, India and Brazil will join that summit and, like the US, be challenged to accept the principle of binding CO cuts for the first time.

why aren't the enviromentalist crying about nuclear waste? That was always the big cry back when they first started building them. To this day they are still hunting for sites to safely dump the waste. Or so they say. Suddenly nuke plants are ok with em? Things that make you go hmmmm.
