In fact, I would argue that we could be climate neutral (includes all other greenhouse gases) by 2030 if we put ourselves to the challenge. We already know how to do it, and can pay for any initial large investments, it's just that we need to calm the fossil fuel lobby to get Washington to take this seriously enough.

With an overwhelming scientific consensus (e.g., AMA Council of Scientific Affairs) that nuclear is safer per unit energy than coal, I am curious why IEER did not choose natural gas with sequestration.
