Fat det nu din skide miljøhippie: Atomkraft er godt for miljøet!

Den aktuelle leder i magasinet Wired er rigtig god. Dette billede følger med og fortæller egentlig meget godt, hvad det hele handler om: Hvis vi vil have niveauet af karbonudledningen sænket, skal vi ikke gÃ¥ løs pÃ¥ store biler og dyrke økologisk mad — det batter simpelthen ikke. Vi skal istedet investere i atomkraft, der jo, ubestridt, er den reneste form for energikilde der findes.

Winning the war on global warming requires slaughtering some of environmentalism’s sacred cows. We can afford to ignore neither the carbon-free electricity supplied by nuclear energy nor the transformational potential of genetic engineering. We need to take advantage of the energy efficiencies offered by urban density. We must accept that the world’s fastest-growing economies won’t forgo a higher standard of living in the name of climate science — and that, on the way up, countries like India and China might actually help devise the solutions the planet so desperately needs.
