You think I disagree with your reasoning on this? (Not that you need to care). Yes, your solution sounds practical. But from what is being planned is a gathering in Paris, to set up regulations for the US and the EU. Regulations and not engineering breakouts. Yes, the u235 plants favored because of a better return on enriched uranium and plutonium-good for fission-fusion weapons. You war is one likely solution, the way of the ruling elites seem to be regulation. This is the main thing that causes the great unwashed to doubt AGW. One is a fix, one is a grasp for power. And, as always, we have no power or influence on all this.

Regulation and engineering are not independent. The first think to do about AGW is replace fossil fuel powerplants (especially coal fired ones) with nuclear power plants. But the nuclear power plants need to be modern designs, e.g. molten salt thorium, because they are safer, don't use cooling water, and are harder to use to make weapons. Nobody will invest in developing in building such plants though because all the regulations are designed for old uranium based designs. So the government needs to a) fund some development work on modern designs and b) write regulations applicable to them. Without that, no private investment is going to flow to those plants that are needed.

If you use Soros-owned Daily Kos (kos kids), and Slate, you have lost me on the accuracy of the topic. I would want (in a perfect world) scientifically accurate corroboration. But-I am the zero-nonentity, and arguments are usually not won by reason, but by power/money. My own microbial point is that I believe AGW is a real phenomena, but its an excuse for power/regulation. I would opt for 89% engineering solutions, and 11% regulation. Since we are both serfs, anyway, what would you do for a AGW fix?? -----Original Message----- From: LizR <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, Feb 3, 2015 7:35 pm Subject: Is it my imagination, or is it getting hot in here? 2014 was the hottest year on record (Bloomberg) http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2014-hottest-year-on-record/ "Vast methane plumes escaping from the seafloor" discovered in Siberian Arctic Sea (Daily Kos) http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/07/28/1317252/--Vast-methane-plumes-escaping-from-the-seafloor-discovered-in-Siberian-Arctic-Sea# Five Reasons We Need a New Global Agreement on Climate Change by 2015 (Switchboard NRDC) http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/jschmidt/five_reasons_we_need_a_new_glo.html 10 Signs the stars are aligning for a climate deal in Paris (The Guardian) http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jan/21/10-signs-stars-are-aligning-for-climate-deal-paris The Arctic Ice “Death Spiral” (Slate) http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/05/28/arctic_sea_ice_global_warming_is_melting_more_ice_every_year.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
