I'm not sure that you were misleading, I think I was thinking along a different path than you. I recently read a book you might enjoy, by the way: 'Deep Economy' by Bill McKibben. It doesn't bring up anything earth shatteringly new, but it does synthesize some ideas about global warming, peak oil, globalization, etc. to make a potent argument for more local economies(one that does not involve trucking lettuce from California to Toronto in January!!!). His feeling, (and for what it's worth, mine) is that we're going to see a radical shift in how we need to do things in the next 10-40 years, and we can either get moving on making the changes with a little discomfort, or have them painfully thrust upon us. Regards, M. Graham
The science is beyond dispute.
The barrier is not scientific possibility, it's economic disincentive, and societal status quo. - "A precedent embalms a principle." Benjamin Disraeli 1804 - 1881
Perhaps we will discover other ways of generating energy and nuclear power may not be needed. There is enough energy all around us to sustain us - we need to find out how to tap into it. John
Oddly, I happen to think hydro-electric is one of the better sources of power, commercial & otherwise. But it seems to me, in the U.S. we're tearing down dams faster than we're putting them up.
