Lurch....if France gets 85% of their power from nuclear...which they do...its going to be easy to meet ANY standard. Especially one like Kyoto.

If North America was using 85% of their power from nuclear...our emissions would be a hell of a lot lower too. Therein lies the solution...sadly...people would rather guzzle more oil, even though it is a finite resource, than develop and USE newer, better and more efficient technology.

But I am optimistic that they'll shut up soon....because the same thing happened with wind power. People complained about the windmills...every excuse in the book....yet, exactly 8 years later, those same people praise the move by Shell and such companies to invest in wind power. Today, the Pincher Creek area has one of the largest wind farms in the world. And no thanks to ANY environmentalist.
