More nails in the coffin for fossil fuels: Al Gore ✔@algore .@POTUS' decision to reject the Keystone Pipeline today is an inspiring step in #ClimateAction leading to #COP21! 11:04 AM - 6 Nov 2015 http://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/06/obama-administration-will-reject-keystone-xl-pipeline-report.html
This Hashtag Could Stop Climate Change. Seriously. "...From November 30-December 11, leaders and experts from over 190 countries will be in Paris for COP21 to finalize work on a new global climate agreement. Many are saying it’s the most important meeting on climate change so far; one that if successful could offer a real step forward to turn the tide against global warming..." http://magazine.good.is/articles/jack-black-earth-to-paris-video
Right. I heard that for every KeyStone pipleline stopped, 10 more are being built between US and Canada. The reason people are in high spirits over this one is, it is the first time a win of this magnitude has be scored for environmentalists. How can Obama go to Paris and ask other countries to do their part in climate change when he can't even handle his own house?
Exactly. The move is largely symbolic but that is not a bad thing. The world really must get a grip on this or we are forked.
"Under different circumstances, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's recent decision to grant its first license to a nuclear power plant in nearly two decades would be interpreted as a boon for the atomic energy industry... ...even as dozens of new atomic power reactors are being constructed worldwide. Despite nominal backing from the federal government, and an accelerating push to promote carbon free energy sources, the Tennessee Valley Authority's $4.5 billion Watts Bar plant isn't being interpreted as a fresh start for a beleaguered sector..." ...Countries such as Switzerland, China, South Korea, Brazil and even Japan — where the meltdown of a nuclear reactor at Fukushima prompted the temporary shuttering of all the country's plants — appear to have surmounted the safety and environmental trepidations that have prevented the U.S. from adding to the 100 licensed reactors that provide about 20 percent of America's electricity"... " http://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/13/nuclear-power-can-its-winter-of-discontent-ever-end.html Nuclear power has its problems, but imo they are far less damaging than fossil fuels. Only the US is lagging far behind all other industrial nations. How can Obama go to Paris and defend this?
Nuclear is the safest form of energy production that we currently have. The public needs to get educated and get less hysterical about it.
