PLEASE DON'T DO IT

One reader has cautioned me against enthusiasm for CO2, because "global warming'' is so useful in promoting nuclear power. Increas ing amounts of advertising by the nuclear industry asserts that nuclear power produces no "greenhouse gases'' and no "CO2 pollution.'' It is a terrible mistake for an industry - which produces the safest, cleanest, most efficient power available with current technology and which, with likely future improvements, can revolutionize human progress by decreasing energy costs by orders of magnitude - to base its progress on a lie - even a popular lie.

"Global warming'' is a scam worthy of Clinton, Gore, Fonda, and fellow travelers. It will pass. It is not worthy of mention by the Nuclear Industry. "Global warming'' will eventually be flushed into the sewer of forgotten manias along with some of those who promote it.
