June 30, 2009 CO2 alarmism has had one good side -- it has catapulted nuclear power back towards a promising future in the USA. But the disadvantages of CO2 alarmism far outweigh the benefits of a nuclear renaissance. You do know, I hope, of the hijacking of climate science by those who tout models of dubious predictive value. Their long-term projections are based much more on what we don't know than what we do know. I am ashamed that the huge companies in my industry have joined in the promotion of the shoddy IPCC bandwagon. I saw a memo last week which described Exelon's expected billion-dollar-or-so-a-year boost from the House-passed cap-and-trade bill. I continue to urge my industry not to further empower the alarmists. The public good on the particulars today is reason enough for this recommendation, but I'll throw in another: The environmentalists hate nuclear, too, and they will assuredly turn their sights on destroying our industry just like they have done to others.
