Frankly, I think that working to slow global warming, if in fact it exists, is something with some appreciable side benefits.
For example, using less oil = lower oil prices = less money to the Saudis and Chavez. Switching from burning gas and some oil to nuclear helps keep the US energy independent (I don’t want Putin to have any leverage on our economy) There are also environmental benefits aside from less carbon dioxide, such as reduced sulfur and nitrogen oxides, lower amounts of smog, and less exposure other toxic chemicals.
It would be nice if Gore’s documentary had actually bothered to mention nuclear energy. I guess that truth would have been too inconvenient.
