Those glowing accounts of nuclear are industry reports Objective reports show the opposite Saying extremely low is well extremely POV You can say low but in fact when you add in the CO2 emissions involved in mining Uranium and making concrete you are about as bad as burning coal which is pure carbon The only reason that nuclear even needs to be mentioned is that M King Hubbert suggested replacing oil with nuclear when oil ran out but here we are in 2009 and all nuclear has caused is problems It currently provides less than 2 of all energy and at that rate of consumption will run out in 70 years Let s do the math up it to 20 and you run out in 7 years unless you make U 238 into plutonium and no one wants that it s bad enough to have enriched Uranium around So lose the glowing accounts and be objective
