Environmentalism is a Religion not a Science
The most cost effective way to reduce CO2 emissions right now is switch coal fired power plants to natural gas and build new gas plants while we wait for a new generation of nuclear plants to come online.
According to an editorial in the Aug. 24th Forbes the cost per ton of CO2 for switching a coal plant to gas is only $20/ton. The cost of government subsidies for electric car cost the taxpayers $250/ton. The cost of the cash for clunker program is $1,700/ton. Crazy so we spend money on clunkers and not a cent to convert coal plants to natural gas.
