MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A new report says nuclear power plants would take too long to build and are too expensive to make any impact on global warming.

The report, released by Wisconsin Environment, an environmental advocacy organization, notes scientists believe developed nations must reduce emissions dramatically by 2020 to limit global warming.

The report says the first new nuclear reactor in the United States probably won't be completed until at least 2016. Money that would go to new plants would be better spent on renewable sources.

State Rep. Mike Huebsch, a West Salem Republican, has pushed to repeal Wisconsin's moratorium on nuclear power. He says groups like Wisconsin Environment are still living off the hysteria of 1970s meltdowns and will do anything to delay nuclear plant construction.

A new report says nuclear power plants would take too long to build and are too expensive to make any impact on global warming.

I agree that nuclear power plants wouldn't have any impact on global warming, but neither will dumping money into "renewable sources". Don't they see that the earth isn't even warming?

Fools.

File under "U" for "useless", "B" for "bullcrap", or just circular file it with the rest of the junk science.

LOL! I have a vision of some lone environmentalist wacko pounding out reports in his parent's basement.

[WOBBLY BOB]

arguing against something real by using something fake is no real argument at all.

[TexasCajun]

...those pesky human beings!

The world would be a better place without 'em. bump

Don't they see that the earth isn't even warming?

Yes, they know it isn't, but they're part of the AGW liar's conspiracy.

[MNDude]

burning incense won’t do anything about the evil smurf problem either.

"The report, released by Wisconsin Environment, an environmental advocacy organization ..."

Another anti-human, anti-progress hate nuclear energy group trying cripple the United States. None of these fanatic groups have any credibility.

[golfisnr1]

Earth to Madison - there is no global warming or climate change. It a sham.

And what, if anything, gives this propaganda outfit any credibility that any report released by it is considered" news"?

[Nervous Tick]

>> The report, released by Wisconsin Environment, an environmental advocacy organization

Bad news, but hey, at least it’s from an unbiased source. ;-)

[GI Joe Fan]

No kidding.

Dr. Charles Krauthammer once said, "they had better get started" while answering as to WHEN we should start constructing VIABLE energy conducting plants such as nuclear power facilities and so forth.

There are 300 million people living here, and there will be several million more over the next few years.

Our need for energy is going to grow, so as Dr. Krauthammer said, "They had better get started."

All this wasted time and pontification on behalf of the DAMN DEMOCRATS is only making our shortage problem worse.

“nuclear power plants would take too long to build”

How convenient you stupid greenies. The don’t build mentality has created the problem now hasn’t it. If we started 20 years ago, we’d be all set.

So why do we believe you today? So that 20 years from now we can be even worse off?

“Nuclear power won’t solve global warming”

No, but a few exposed secret emails will!

[Sopater]

Absolutely right. The money could be better spent on cheesburgers.

[Williams]

Total bullcrap.

Cost too much???? Have they seen the cost of “global warming” legislation?

They want us to have nothing.

Did Wisconsin Environment's report mention that the reason nuclear power plants take so long to build and are so expensive is because of groups like Wisconsin Environment?

That's the essence of modern day environmentalist - hysterically declare that the sky is falling, demand massive intrusions by the government on the rights of individuals and business as a solution and obstruct every reasonable alternative.

[American Constitutionalist]

Lame excuses, the same excuses they give us when talking about drilling for our own oil on our own soil.

[Fresh Wind]

A new report says nuclear power plants would take too long to build and are too expensive...

I don't suppose that could be because the greenies block the approval process at every level and force the price through the roof?
