My guess is that there are too many people on the planet for a "back to nature" approach.

Once again we post on a common thread! What is your first name? I feel like we have so many discussions about nuclear power we deserve to know each other on a first name basis! Hi R Margolis!

Whether it is safer reactors or more efficient energy storage, climate change will require better technology not less.

What an encouraging story! Especially at a time when some Universities are falling for the "hi-tech" fix so--called "solution" to global warming, and accepting government money to get the nuclear industry started up. From reading current literature world-wide - it's pretty obvious that the future lies with progress in conserving energy. in energy efficiency and clean renewable technologies. The future does not lie with that much-touted "nuclear renaissance", which will be a still-birth. I hope that other universities will take up your lead.
