WDS: Nuclear
--WDS: I think Nuclear and breeder rectors have to become very important. It will happen. The problem is, when it does, there will be many years less research that there should have been.
ES: I posted a comment about breeder reactors on this web site from Art Robinson's unsuccessful run for Congress. http://www.artforcongress.com/issues/energy-independence
ES: Carbon taxes without nuclear is pretty useless.
--WDS: if carbon taxes, then nuclear more attractive, hence will happen more. (Duh.) Also, other things less attractive, like long automobile commutes, uninsulated houses.
ES: That's true only if nuclear is permitted to compete. The liberals want your carbon tax money, but won't let you choose nuclear in return.
ES: Taxes won't reduce CO2 emissions, just raise the cost of energy.
--WDS: cross country comparisons refute you.
ES: Citation please.
