Because he's a pol-i-ti-cian deary. The only difference between the party we vote for and the party we vote against is which one pisses us off less.
OMG! I knew it! This is all the fault of you lousy MEN!
Are men to blame for global warming?
Even climate change cannot escape the gender wars. Now Swedish men are being blamed for having a disproportionately large impact on global warming.
The finger is squarely pointed at men in "A study on gender equality as a prerequisite for sustainable development" by Gerd Johnsson-Latham of the Swedish Ministry of Sustainable Development. She concludes: "The fact that women travel less than men, measured in person-kilometres per car, plane, boat and motorcycle - means that women cause considerably fewer carbon dioxide emissions than men, and thus considerably less climate change."

Nuke engery does not spew crap into the air, but there is the issue of toxic waste disposal and securing the spent fuel.
CO2 would not be an issue if we had the vegetation to balance it out.
My wife would agree and has accused me more then once of producing high levels of methane, especially at the most inopportune times.

There have been proposals for reactors that consume nuclear waste and transmute it to other, less-harmful nuclear waste. In particular, the Integral Fast Reactor was a proposed nuclear reactor with a nuclear fuel cycle that produced no transuranic waste and in fact, could consume transuranic waste. It proceeded as far as large-scale tests but was then canceled by the U.S. Government. Another approach, considered safer but requiring more development, is to dedicate subcritical reactors to the transmutation of the left-over transuranic elements.
While transmutation has been banned in the US since 1977 due to the danger of plutonium proliferation, work on the method continues in the EU. This has resulted in a practical nuclear research reactor called Myrrha in which transmutation is possible. Additionally, a new research program called ACTINET has been started in the EU to make transmutation possible on a large, industrial scale.
There have also been theoretical studies involving the use of fusion reactors as so called "actinide burners" where a fusion reactor plasma such as in a tokamak, could be "doped" with a small amount of the "minor" transuranic atoms which would be transmuted (meaning fissioned in the actinide case) to lighter elements upon their successive bombardment by the very high energy neutrons produced by the fusion of deuterium and tritium in the reactor. It was recently found by a study done at MIT, that only 2 or 3 fusion reactors with parameters similar to that of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) could transmute the entire annual minor actinide production from all of the light water reactors presently operating in the United States fleet while simultaneously generating approximately 1 gigawatt of power from each reactor.
Global Warming... 11-09-2007 07:49 AM and the dinosaur is now extinct. great example!
Why didn't you have the courage to post this rather than a hit-and-run Karma post?
The laws of nature and physics have not changed. So what's your point?

The moon sounds like a good place to send the spent rods..
If you're going to bother getting spent rods up to escape velocity, you might as well just send them to the sun.

you said "Spent Rods"
Not to be the negitive Nancy here, but every once in a while those rockets blow up. We'd be pretty eff, if it happened when it was full of fuel rods
