Reply #61: I think that's consistent with my picture of Hansen. [View All]

His evaluation is based on the premise that we must proceed full force on all fronts. It isn't based on the fact that we have to evaluate the technologies and select the ones with the most bang for the buck. I know you like nuclear, but I simply can't get past the extremely low EROEI it delivers; and whatever future fuel source is exploited it is going to get worse. Couple that with the exorbitant costs (aggravated by the costs of a very high failure rate that isn't included in the price/MW numbers), the length of time required to bring one online and the threat of nuclear proliferation and I simply can't support it.

I actually think the waste issue is the easiest problem to fix among the negatives.
