Notice how nuclear power is defined as "renewable", with only the promise that it does not emit greenhouse gasses. Readers of this blog will recall that this claim is questionable when the whole nuclear fuel chain; minimg, milling. processing, transportation and reprocessing, are taken in to account.

All that aside, nuclear power is a bad idea if only for the weapons proliferation. The most efficient way to produce energy is to save it. It may be necessary to save the power we will not be getting from 500 megawatt nuclear reactors.

Of course, conservation is considered bad for business- cuts in to the bottom line.

So the frame can go from, "what can I do to conserve more?" to "what can I do to screw up the mottom line of a giant energy company?"

Now, doesn't that feel better?
