					<description><![CDATA[The claim about depleted uranium burning is very dubious and so what.  Uranium-238 is not particularly hazardous, so Greg and Analiese - are you reall scientists or just spreaders of speculation and fiction?  Why make a big deal out of this?  I will bet that you don&#039;t realize that you ingest, breathe in and drink a fraction of a microgram of U-238 every day of your life and human beings and other inhabitants of earth have always done so.  SPAM DELETED]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Greg I REALLY appreciate these posts. I completely understand the sociology of the pro-nuke, fix-the-climate link: it so happens that nothing reaches a fairly large segment of society with the reality of climate science more than promoting nuclear energy as a solution. There&#039;s a great deal of social research/polling to that effect. Conversely, letting the climate discussion get sidetracked into nuclear vs. renewables is a public-opinion loser.

But obviously, you can&#039;t evaluate how effective things will be without at least *some* of us objectively evaluating the big picture. And right now, there&#039;s a vacuum - certainly some environmental organizations are kneejerk anti-nuclear people. And some are simply conservatives who support nuclear because it&#039;s corporate, ties in with the military, and gives them a good excuse to attack environmentalists. But among people not in either of those two groups, the vacuum I&#039;m speaking of results from some being market-oriented and corporation friendly and dismissive of environmentalists but also accepting of climate science. They&#039;re going to only show data that fits their preconception about it. You&#039;d expect others to be more inclusive and hence accurate, but they&#039;re holding back because they understand the sociology.

There are still only 2 blogs I know of really filling that void, one is Joe Romm&#039;s blog at Think Progress and the other is this one. And this one is on scienceblogs, whereas that one is on a liberal think-tank site.]]></description>
