And if India succeeds in its plan to supply 25 percent of its galloping electricity needs with nuclear power by 2050, it would not only have an important impact on gas emissions but on fossil-fuel consumption. And we must also consider the benefits of having India's much touted technological brain trust working to develop clean and safe solutions to the problem of nuclear waste disposal.Be sure to check out the comments, where the debate is heated, but Learsy finds more supporters than you might think.
China, of course, is not unaware of its pollution dilemma and its potential for catastrophe. It is intent on cutting emission pollution and has opted to harness nuclear energy to head off its crisis. China plans to build up to 40 new nuclear power plants by the year 2020. Six are under construction already. The United States hasn't built a nuclear power plant since the seventies. But now, with the likes of Mr. [Patrick] Moore on board, lets go!
