There is plenty of nuclear fuel to attain the expansion of nuclear power
production indicated in the IPCC stabilization scenarios. Combine that
reduction in coal-fired electric power production with improved energy
efficiency and stabilization may be achieved without substantially lower
living standards. That will presumably avoid whatever additional
destruction would result from failing to stabilize. It's worth a try,
don't you think?
