					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for those videos. I&#039;m going to be watching Amy Goodman, who (if everything goes as planned) will be covering the entire 2 weeks of COP26 and should be interviewing a number of young activists.

I remain hopeful for nuclear power. Rod Adams, of Adams Atomic Insights, has this to say about small modular reactors:

&lt;blockquote&gt;It is enlightening to see how much costs fall when you can train a group of operators in a common speciality (sic) and send them out to several dozen plants that have identical equipment, spare parts lockers and layouts. It’s also easy to see how maintenance procedures can be written once and used by all and how alterations can be planned, reviewed and implemented. These are just a few of the examples I can list. Rules protecting confidential information prevent me from sharing quantified details. Space prevents me from listing other examples.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This amounts to mass production. It works with large reactors too; see France. One of the reasons nuclear power plants cost so much here is that each is a one-off unique design. That&#039;s &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;one&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; of the reasons.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[RickA, your consistency in mixing being flat out wrong with your dishonesty is preserved. 
This is from 2020, but does nothing to support your claim.

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2943/study-confirms-climate-models-are-getting-future-warming-projections-right/

Geophysical Research Letters, in 2019, published a study of the accuracy of models through that year: again, the conclusion was that they were on target. 

A little more.

I know the Cato institute agrees with you — but its people are paid to dismiss science. Perhaps you could be a consultant for them and stop spreading your foolishness here.]]></description>

For the record, 

China actually did more than any country has done ever in one single move, recently. See the video with Mike Man for details

Nuclear power may have  a limited role but it does not use a renewable source, has significant cleanup problems, and the electricity it produces is five to ten times more expensive than other forms of electricity.

The world is not running cooler than models.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[China isn&#039;t going.  India rejected its net zero target.

Nuclear power is the answer to lowering CO2 emissions - but a large portion of the world rejects nuclear power out of hand.

Problems, problems.

I don&#039;t expect much out of the &quot;last best hope&quot;.  Fortunately the real world is running much cooler than the models - so we have that going for us.]]></description>
