Any Scientist would be horrified by this

I was listening to a Fast Fission Podcast #15 by This Week In Nuclear and I had to pass on what I heard.

The main article in Scientific America this month is "A Plan to Power 100 Percent of the Planet with Renewables" and in it it states that nuclear produces 25 time more carbon than wind when in fact it is more like 20 times less.

Expanding the number of civil nuclear power station will lead to more nuclear bombs. Which will lead to nuclear tests, which give of carbon. This is then fed back into the carbon emissions for civil nuclear. This is plain stupid for many reasons. Listen to the podcast, read the comments or go to the blog Brave New Climate for more.

There is a full critique of the article at the blog Brave New Climate here. Well worth a read.
