RE: CNBC Network is difficult to watchThere are powerful reasons to go nuclear beyond global warming, peak oil is one (even if were aren't there quite yet, we are clearly getting there quickly given increasing demand from the 3rd world). As well, its much cleaner to "burn" and much less destructive to develop than fossil fuels or in the case of Brazil then the destruction of the rain forest. The rain forest is being destroyed to accomodate sugar cane as a source for green, replenishable, fuels. The fuels may be replenishable but not the rain forest.
