One of the reasons the air is now clean is that legislation was passed requiring industrial enterprises to clean up their emissions. That legislation was opposed by many who did not want to accept the connection between human activity and environmental consequences

The article states that global warming regressed from the 1940's to the 1970's. The irony of politics is that those who championed the cleaning of the air in the 60's revived the process of global warming. Those very same people could have gone a long way in cutting down on power plant emissions if they didn't kill the nuclear power industry. The environmentalist need to take a good look in the mirror on who is to blame.

I agree completely. Also, Nuclear power generation has no emissions under normal operation which can not be said for any other source of power generation. Nuclear waste can be managed safely.
