8. The US is not planning to significantly reduce emissions in the future.

Edited on Tue Apr-20-10 03:56 PM by joshcryer

And under their plan the mitigation factor of nuclear is nothing for many years, then it jumps to a palthy 14 on their scale (I have yet to give it a thorough read through).

The current approach is acceptable to many here, it is not to me, because it does not reduce emissions enough in a timely enough manner to avoid catastrophic climate change.

edit: added "significantly" since people can't read my mind
