Next Big Future says improving and adding to existing nukes can save a lot of CO2 emissions. They say that the US currently avoids 700 million tons of CO2 emissions from existing nukes.
Other things, including annular fuel, speeding the buildout of new nuke plants, and building liquid flouride thorium reactors to reduce coal burning would help as well. They list other alternatives, as well.
Annular fuel would increase existing nukes' output by 50%.
Developing these things would make a lot more sense than Obama's "cap and tax" bill, and would certainly be a lot cheaper in the long run.
But Obama's pals wouldn't get to make the big bucks trading the CO2 "permits" provided for under the bill.
I have never understood why we are unable to get our government to act sensibly on energy. Nuclear and other technology is there if the government would just get out of the way.
Go and read the story.
