The assumptions of these "experts" is too often on the supply side - I say the debate should be more on the demand side. I'm no fan of nuclear energy (waste is a huge problem and should not be dismissed too readily) but I guess it is the lesser of 2 evils. But at the end of the day, we can talk about it as much as we like. China and India will be polluting way more than the West soon, and it's not going to be easy to get them on board any time soon. China has built its new economy in large part on the automobile - big mistake. Prepare your gas masks... Shouldn’t the question be “How much energy do we really need to use, anyway?”.
