Build all the nuclear corporations are willing to build. There have been billions in subsidies available since 2005 and nobody has built a plant. Why is that genius?
Well, we know you are not one, a genius that is.

Why, it is the dems/libs in league with the environmentaliss who have determined that nuclear is much too dangerous - the permit process is draconian, onerous, costly and time consuming - thanks to the democrats.

Uh oh, another slap to man-made global warming.....

Feb 25, 2009
A Japanese energy commission released a report last month challenging the supposed international consensus that man is responsible for warming the planet while claiming that climate modeling -- the questionably accurate process of predicting the future so key to Nobel Laureate Al Gore's myth -- is immature and akin to ancient astrology.

The study also called the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's conclusion that global temperatures are likely to continue to rise "an unprovable hypothesis," while castigating "the paucity of the US ground temperature data set used to support the hypothesis."

More on the Japanese report:

Says the person who links a graph from the GISS who are notorious for adjusting data to fit their opinions. Maybe take some time and look up how they adjust for inconsistencies and missing data. Its a process that seems to baffle mathematicians, but hey, its climate science and that rates right up there with finger painting.

Regarding nuclear energy, I'll say this much....if more plants were built, used, etc. & then something disastrous went down, can't you just see all the people who initially were proponents of nuclear energy just pointing fingers & having absolute fits? I can.

The really funny thing is when they show you those pictures of the ice melting in the Arctic. These fantastic pics of the large amounts of ice that have already melted away. Problem is, on the other side where there wasn't an ice sheet before, there now is. That is because global warming is not the problem. Our planet has slipped on it's axis, thus causing changes in global weather patterns. So things are simply changing in accordance with the shift. The ice hasn't disappeared, it has simply moved, just as the entire planet has experienced some small changes in their weather patterns.

Global warming is nothing but a natural process that has occured naturally over and over again since the beginning. Man's contribution to this natural process is nearly non existent. Instead of supporting the popular ideas, really look around for unbiased information. Far too many of our "warming" band wagoneers are also tied to corporations making huge profits off of the move to stop global warming. While reducing pollution is always good, this is a scam for the most part.

We also know that at one point in history Greenland was actually green. And we know that some of the global warming alarmists of today were the global cooling alarmists of the 1970s. And that more than 99% of all carbons emitted into the atmosphere have come from volcanic eruptions. And that there is not a single shred of evidence that climate change is caused by anything other than changes in solar activity. And finally, we are not causing the cyclical melting and refreezing of the icecaps on Mars.
I would be interested in some scientific references for your volcanic carbon claim.
