Nukes will do nothing to prevent climate change...

Here's a note that I sent, via the Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS), to my Senators today:

Nuclear power is not a least-cost, or least-delay source of energy. For every dollar spent on nuclear energy, we lose the equivalent of $10 that we could have gained in efficiency, or up to about $2 gained from rapidly deployed clean, safe renewable sources (E05-15_MightyMice.pdf [page 5]), and we loose precious time -- no nuclear plant, if construction started today, would have any meaningful impact on mitigating the climate crisis we face. Nukes are too slow to build to do any good. So, be reasonable. Rule out nukes now, before we waste precious money and time.

Please, please, please make informed, rational decisions on this issue.

Thanks!

I hope they read it. I hope anyone reads it. Have a look at the Rocky Mountain Institute link above.
