Nuclear energy best solution to 'warming'

"Global warming," or now "climate change," is code for a scenario that starts with an observation that carbon dioxide and other gases in our atmosphere, like water vapor, trap heat. The whole scenario includes an insistence that the carbon dioxide contributor from fossil fuel burning will become 1) a predominate weather factor resulting in starvation, death, and destruction, and 2) that there is value in preventing some of this by curtailing the use of fossil fuels.

Unfortunately for the "warmists," their predictions have not held true for the last 15 years. What these warmists really want, particularly the politicians driving it, is more central government control of our lives where an elite few always know better how to run things.

Oh, and yes, there is that carbon tax thing (cap and trade, etc.) that was expected to bring in billions if not trillions of dollars in both tax and profit by those running the trading. Unfortunately, many of the warmists do not want to admit that nuclear power is the best solution for their concerns. It is economically viable, creates jobs, supports our energy independence, has the advantage of diversity, has no carbon emissions, and helps conserve our fossil fuels for future generations.
