The article in "The Bulletin" is a perfect example of the double-standard it criticizes.
According to the article, zealotry for nuclear power is bad. But zealotry against nuclear power seems to always be allowed.
Politics is a blunt instrument, as the author certainly knows. Pretending that it can deal with all the nuances the article raises is either disingenous or stupid. The strategy is, at it has always been, to delay nuclear power at every step, while spending our tax dollars promoting technologies that simply won't help at the levels required.
Promoting nuclear power as the "silver bullet" is a LOT closer to the right answer than the "never nuclear" approach. And that makes it a good argument if you want to address poverty and global warming.

Poverty will continue no matter what. Global warming stopped in 1998.
Just curious. Could you elaborate more on global warming stopping in 1998? I have not heard this before.
Look at NOAA's average global temperature data.
Quite interesting! Thanks for the pointer.
