More support for nuclear power....
Again, there is no other energy solution if you believe in human-induced global warming...
Nuclear power offers the only realistic chance of saving the planet from global warming, a leading Irish physicist said yesterday.Emeritus Professor of physics at University College Galway, Philip Walton, said nuclear energy represented the cleanest and safest option for mankind. His views are supported by Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore, who said scientific evidence supports the view that nuclear power is “an environmentally sound and safe option”. James Lovelock, who Prof Walton described as the guru of the Green Party, said recently that “large-scale nuclear power is the only practical way we have to solve the greenhouse gas problem”. That was not to dismiss the use of renewable energy such as wind, “but we should recognize that these are not substitutes”.

A physics professor should know better. There is another option.
How ironic ... considering it was Margaret Thatcher who unwittingly started Kyoto because she distrusted the unions and the nuclear establishment !
Be sure to check out the war over nuclear energy and loan guarantees that was detailed at Salon this morning.
