Only about 20% of co2 comes from cars and trucks, most comes from electric generationand our electric demands will only go up in the future not matter how much conserving we do.
And a note to all keyboard warriors: 20% of our electric use goes to power the Internet! And that will grow enormously when the network is upgraded to the point where we all have smart phones downloading video 24/7.
Do some research and any reasonable person will see nuclear is our ONLY real option.
Watch this Penn and Teller You Tube video on our Anti-Nuclear silliness:

Nuclear power is safe, clean, green and renewable. The waste problem is solved by Yucca Mountain, with only Harry Reid holding it up. And he will be gone soon. For the next 50-100 years our choice is Coal or Nuclear. Wind and Solar cannot be anything other than a small player. The wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t shine at night. Wind and Solar cost about 10 times as much as coal and 5 times as much as Nuclear. Wind and Solar cannot provide baseline power. The left completely ignores the science and indulges their Anti-Nuclear religion, Why?
Every time you see one of those Al Gore commercials that says we need to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and then show a windmill turning, most American realize what a joke that is. ALL the science tells us that in the near future our only choice is Nuclear or coal. To oppose Nuclear power is to ignore real science and extends our reliance on green house gas producing power sources. Either support Nuclear or quite complaining about using coal. Even Obama’s energy chief realizes this. France and Japan get most of their electricity from Nuclear with NO PROBLEMS.
There has to be a plan in place to move to carbon free sources before cap and trade or a carbon tax is implemented. Wind and solar can only represent about 20-25% of our energy needs as Obama’s energy czar, Dr Chu, realizes. Only about 20% of co2 comes from cars, trucks and planes, most come from electric generation and our electric demands will only go up in the future not matter how much conserving we do.
The ONLY choice we have today for the other 75% of baseline power are Coal or Nuclear.

Even Obama’s energy chief realizes this. Breeder reactors can greatly extend uranium supplies but there are even better solutions that do not lead to proliferation problems.
Even Harry Reid supports Thorium reactors!
Thorium reactors offer no possibility of a meltdown, generated its power inexpensively, create no weapons-grade by-products, and burnt up existing high-level waste as well as old nuclear weapon stockpiles. Thorium fuel can be modified to be used in current reactors.
Here are some sources or just google “thorium reactors”
