U-235 against Global Warming

For those worried about climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and the so called global warming thing, here’s a quiz: Which nation has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions per dollar of economic output?

France. (Yes and I too thought I would never say anything positive of France)

How is that possible you may ask? Simple: they generate 70 percent of their electricity with—gasp!!--nuclear power, which has no greenhouse gas emissions. That is correct the “N” word!

So should we suggest a rather obvious strategy? If the industrialized world is serious about greenhouse gas emissions then the use of nuke plants should be the new in thing for the hippies to hug. Could you just imagine seeing a tree hugging hippie VW (Volkswagen) with "Nukes not Love" stickers on them.

The Economist has more to say about this very idea here.
