Fukushima, global warming, coal-fired power plants, nuclear power.
Japan has just announced it will be relying less on nukes and more on fossil fuel for energy than previously planned.
Very sensible.
Nuclear power is much too dangerous anywhere, but especially at earthquake central.
Hence that country is backing away from its commitments regarding future emissions.
Muffled unhappiness and confusion on the left as support for a nuclear powered future has just begun to solidify among global warming believers.
The lwnm should be screaming nuclear power is too dangerous.
And it's not, and we know why.
What if the sorry-assed truth is that we are causing global warming, it will have the predicted devastating consequences, but trusting nukes would - will? - have even worse consequences?
When you get to brass tacks, it's just another choice among evils.
And of winners and losers.
Islanders vs. continentals.
People in temperate regions vs. people in hot areas.
What if, as seems likely, Soylent Green is coming?
Not that I will live to see it.
Good luck, kids.
