    Maxgladwell puts forward some interesting food for thought, in particular in regards to social media as a medium to promote environmental living. - I'll go have some tea now to aid the cognitive digestion...

    The choice between coal and nuclear comes after we've maxed out our capacity to produce renewables like solar, wind, geothermal, wave, hydro, etc. The sun might have unlimited capacity, but the world's capacity to harness it is capped by materials. And solar panels produce zero energy when the sun isn't shining. Our challenge is to more than double our energy capacity in less than 50 years, while reducing carbon emissions to 1990 levels or below. It's tough to imagine how great a challenge that will be. If we discount nuclear as a choice, then that leaves one option: coal. And it's not as if we'll be off of coal. We'll actually have to increase our use of coal anyway, which means we'll rely on carbon sequestration, which has not been done on any scale yet. Much of this future relies on technologies that have yet to be developed, and that's potentially dangerous to rely on. Nuclear is proven as clean and safe. It's no silver bullet but nothing is. We're looking at a very diverse energy future, and nuclear will have to play a part. See this post for more detail: http://www.maxgladwell.com/2008/06/nuclear-energy-needs-a-major-re-branding/
