Until we answer that question, I think the nuclear discussion is at a standstill. I won't even go into the enormous costs of nuclear power plants. By the way, I really support nuclear power but we have to answer the fundamental question of what do we do with the waste. If you want to put it in a mountain in Arizona and the good residents of Arizona say it's okay then I'm fine with that. Unfortunately, that's not what I found in this nuclear discussion. Nobody wants to nuclear waste in their backyard. What do we do with the nuclear waste? Until we answer that question, I think the nuclear discussion is at a standstill.

Steven Levitt is a opportunist. He's a very smart opportunist but an opportunist nonetheless. He has added very little to the public discourse that is of substance. With two best-selling books, he has added money to his bank account but I don't think that there are any revelations in most of his books. I’m not sure that I get your drift.

You really think solar energy could be helpful?  Didn’t you know that solar panels are black and therefore absorb more heat than they will save?  <a href=”http://newsaffair.info/?p=127″>Why, just listen to engineering climate experts Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner! </a>,

They cost huge amounts of money and take enormous amounts of water. Utah is fighting to keep medium level waste out of our state from Italy. Do you want one in your back yard. I will however take a no waste solar panel or wind powered energy farm in my back yard. Who is going to pay for them to be built? They cost huge amounts of money and take enormous amounts of water.

That is the real problem along with melt downs and transporting the waste and the rail cars becoming targets for terrorists. And where are you going to dispose of the nuclear waste?
