Energy supply is more important than climate change (SMALL)

Nobody's Fuel emphasizes how important energy is to human welfare. With 85% of world energy currently supplied by fossil fuels, it is clear that a replacement must both mitigate carbon dioxide emissions and secure a stable and affordable fuel supply.

This film explains that: * tar sands cannot cure "peak oil" * world energy consumption could triple by 2100 * history and technical limitations show renewable energy cannot ever provide more than 10% of world energy * energy efficiency and conservation marginally reduce carbon dioxide emissions * tree planting is not reliable for storing carbon dioxide permanently * the hydrogen economy is currently impractical

Nobody's Fuel is not a doomsday scenario. This film recommends the widespread adoption of nuclear fission energy. Using modern fast breeder reactors, nuclear fuel is the only energy that is large enough to replace fossil fuels and mitigate atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Roidroid,

Maybe you should read the disclaimer from Al Gore's movie:

The light water reactor sucks ... ABANDON IT!

LFTR is ALL we need to power the planet.

There is NO high pressure, no fuel rods, no need for back up generators, 1/100th the wastes which last only 1/1,000ths as long. No possibility of meltdown because it is already a molten salt reactor, and fissions abundant thorium which is harder to make weapons out of.

If we are going to do nuclear, do it right!

LFTR

Nuclear enrgy= police state= NO, thank U!

Why?

Because it is a military technology, demands high levels of organization, control and security, because endangeres some people more than others AND because as a bi-product of the technology U end up with materials perfect for nuclear WEAPONS! so, NO I dont nead nukes, I have all I nead for my living- a garden, a beehive and a horse

Breeder reactors are supposed to create more fuel than they use. Right now enriched uranium is cheaper, but as Uranium supplies dwindle, breeder reactors will become more cost effective.

i agree. energy supply is more important than climate change.

ShwangShwing < Do you believe everything you hear?!

Grow up kid!

Whats next?! You believe that Al gore is true on this too?!

hehe

[ShwangShwing]

If we change all our energy supply to nuclear and taking into account the increasing demand for energy how long will the uranium deposits in the earth last?

[ShwangShwing]

Of course they can... You don't beleive AAAS and IPCC? They are scientists, this is their job. What's your education? Even if you're climatologist you can't claim to know more then theese two scientific organizations. Sure they can got it wrong... everyone can, but it is way more probbable they got it right then you.

I agree, people cant change the climate!!

The climate have changed for 100000 years, so of course so no people can change the climate!!!
