hey kman, do you support nuclear?

Unfortunately it is inevitable. With a world going from 6 billion to 9 billion people, and with most of these in the third world who soon will able to afford all those good things that electricity can provide, nuclear power will be the only solution.Don't even think renewables,they are not an option.

I agree kman, absolutely ... BUT, if I put up any of these:

many supporters of nuclear power would claim foul.

This is no different to you putting up links to WUWT red-herrings.

Ergo, you are not addressing the debate with the rationality that is so much needed, but so much lacking.

Of course there will be a need for many alternative energy supplies and is very much dependent on numerous factors - horses for courses if you like.

The way you sprayed the WUWT meme just indicates to me you have another agenda to pursue and a different playing field to play on.

@"most of these (extra 3 billion) in the third world who soon will able to afford all those good things that electricity can provide, nuclear power will be the only solution."

Perhaps you should think about that statement a bit more kman? Last time I looked at the population projections, your vision of nuclear in Africa 3rd world countries is a myth. Indeed, wind power would be a god-send to communities living there.

Unless of course your talking of China and India - which are not by definition 3rd world. Nevertheless, you will also find (if you had bothered to look) that those countries, while developing an agressive nuclear power industry, are also ramping up their wind power capabilities.

Because I put up a video of wind turbines in california I am " not addressing the debate with the rationality that is so much needed, but so much lacking." ...Rationality?

"The way you sprayed the WUWT meme just indicates to me you have another agenda to pursue and a different playing field to play on"
So I am not rational and now I am spraying.

And I don't have any agenda except common sense when it comes to the use of pipe dream alternative energy schemes that will cost a fortune, ruin the natural beauty of our pristine lndscapes and make absolutely no difference in so called "man made global warming".especially when 31,000 US scientists have signed a petition arguing that the modelling is flawed. They can't tell any certainty what tomorrows weather will be like, but they can 100 years down the track...Please!

Also I never had any vision of nuclear in Africa. but China and the Indian subcontinent,South America and Indonesia etc.that comes to my mind and they are third world.

I find your riposte rather confrontational and lacking in any thing of substance.Adieu bonmot,your just another screaming example of the rest of your green ilk who resort to this type of language when their cause is lost.. Just like socialism.

Fortunately, they don't build them like that any more.

Perhaps the Chinese wouldn't be so keen if they had a look at the Californian results, although labour is probably a bit cheaper and more expendable there.

Actually, I spoke too soon. This piece from Andrew Bolt

might indicate that the Chinese are having second thoughts about windmills.
