Guardian: Some of the world's top climate scientists say wind and solar energy won't be enough to head off extreme global warming, and they're asking environmentalists to support the development of safer nuclear power as one way to cut fossil fuel pollution.

Amory Lovins, Joe Romm and Mark Jacobson would disagree, Id bet. I certainly know many other energy and climate analysts who would sign on in a heartbeat, including...

Hinkley Point crazy, say German greens amid division over 'no nuclear' policy
2013-10-31 19:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: While David Cameron was donning hard hat and overalls at Hinkley Point last month to announce the construction of the first nuclear reactor since the Fukushima disaster, coxless fours were rowing silently past Krümmel nuclear plant near Hamburg. Kernkraftwerk Krümmel, on the banks of the Elbe in the small town of Geesthacht, northern Germany, is one of eight nuclear power plants shut permanently in the country following the Fukushima meltdown. A further nine, built relatively recently which...
