A small price to stop "global warming "
Nations urged to spend $45 trillion to battle carbon emissions - International Herald Tribune
According to the International Energy Agency it will take at least $45 trillion ;build 1,400 nuclear power plants worldwide ,and vastly expand wind power in order to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050... the date the UN Scientists say that emissions needs to be halved to avoid an increase in world temperatures of between 3.6 and 4.2 degrees above pre-18th century levels.
[That's $45 TRILLION... as a comparison ,the entire US GDP is $13 Trillion . ] They want us all living in mud yurts living as hunter -gatherers (except don't hunt the endangered species) ,foregoing all the evils of industrialization. I wonder how the extremists will react to the call for nuclear power as a remedy ?
