[ RadSafe ] Yet, another article on the benefits of nuclear power

[Earley, Jack N]

If the antis really cared about carbon dioxide, etc. emissions, they'd
be focused on livestock instead. See
http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html for example.

Excerpt:
"According to a new report published by the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization, the livestock sector generates more greenhouse
gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent - 18 percent - than
transport. It is also a major source of land and water degradation. 

Says Henning Steinfeld, Chief of FAO's Livestock Information and Policy
Branch and senior author of the report: 'Livestock are one of the most
significant contributors to today's most serious environmental problems.
Urgent action is required to remedy the situation.'"

A new dawn for nuclear power
Features: July 2007

Despite its environmentally unfriendly image, nuclear power is firmly
back on the world's energy agenda thanks to the need to cut
carbon-dioxide emissions.
Paul Norman, Andrew Worrall and Kevin Hesketh describe how the next
generation of nuclear power stations will be cleaner and more efficient
than ever.
