Aha, surely – see my message above.

Great! an authorative answer from "real science" in a film criticism film. If no global warming then why in the hell is the debate about alternative source of energy to one that is both cheap and plentiful. I give up.

Richard,

Greenhouse gases from coal and petrochemicals contrubute around 10% to Global overheating but it is all whisked away to the poles where it is radiated to space in a complex set of quantum chemistries. The whisking away is climate change and the Earth is not WARMING or ice caps melting. The big downside is toxic components of combusting essentilly-what-is-rocks-and-minerals. They are poisoning-us-all-and-it-will-get-worse.

As intense-pressure is placed on world-economies and social-systems by PEAK-oil (regular 50cent rises in fuel per litre from now) PBR nuclear-alternatives can BRIDGE us to high-density, clean-skies, energy. Waste-disposal is a problem but in concentrated-sites-only. Once the world realises we ALL have the same energy problem, terrorism will vanish and people WILL work together provided they feel there is HOPE. An Australian heavy-nuclear-processing-industry is a BIG part of that HOPE. We have an obligation as-well-as-commercial-need.

In the meantime, proof of these assertions is on-the-way in the current-US-hurricane-season. Changes are being made to wastewater disposal methods. These are showing on current satellite maps(SHA/SST). Marine Pollution attracts high-energy-hurricanes by the second-law-of-thermodynamics. Without pollution in the US-Gulf heat is being shunted up the US east coast away from the mainland. Thus there MAY be no major US landfall hurricanes this year. This will be proof that global warming is false and that climate change originates in oceanic pollution and that it can be controlled.

With climate change finally-under-control, the world MUST focus on Overpopulation-instabilities as the greatest-threat-to-our-future. The solution is to develop HIGH DENSITY CLEAN ENERGY SOURCES. Wind, tide, local-solar and biofuel power cannot do this. Their development is like using a-garden-hose-to-fill-Sydney-Harbour. They are low-density,-unsatisfying-and-inconstant.

Note, the main aim of PBRs is to give the world breathing-space while Fusion, Space-based-solar and Geothermal options
get-proper-R&D-funding. Australia has a big part to play in this. . Without our role, the oil companies will continue to sit on world innovation and capital in the hope of being BIG WINNERS in a world collapse. Oil executives should take note that there will be NO winners, only SURVIVORS and that Australia intends to develop world-HOPE through infinite energy alternatives, using Uranium processing as an-initial-leverage.

Yeah, is it hard to understand, Richard, either warming or not, traditional natural fossil power sources are limited, and a question is, how much nukes should be used to NOW rather than considering a usage of nuclear power generally?
