Global Warming, Nuclear Energy, and Geothermal Energy

I'll just go right ahead and say it: man-made Global Warming is a scam.

Al Gore et al., can bluster until they're red in the face about the so-called consensus on man-made global warming, but two point immediately come to mind:

1) Consensus is irrelevant when it comes to facts. Something is either factually correct or it isn't, and no amount of consensus will change that.

2) Claiming consensus on an issue when their clearly isn't is simply an attempt to shut down discussion.

I casually pay attention to this issue, being a somewhat scientific/technical person. There isn't a week that goes by that there isn't a seemingly credible article attempting to explain how CO2 and temperature increases are unrelated or how solar activity is a much, much more likely culprit than my SUV. People that write these articles or agree with their points are called "deniers", with all the anti-Holocaust baggage that comes with that word. It's a dirty game, and unfortunately the scammers are winning at the moment. I guess the fact that global temperatures haven't statistically increased in the last decade is being ignored as an "inconvenient truth."

I'll continue to follow this debate, but in my mind it's clear that man-made global warming is a scam being foisted upon the world. By who and why are very interesting questions.

There are a million articles on the internet dealing with global warming so I won't bother to list any of them here. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

So where does nuclear and geothermal energy fit into this?

I seems clear to me that eventually the planet will move from an oil-based economy to an electricity-based economy. So what are the "best" sources for this energy? In my opinion nuclear is the best option, possibly followed by geothermal energy.

The nuclear reactors of today are much, much safer than the reactors of 30 years ago. The US gets something like 25% of it's electricity from nuclear sources while France gets something like 75%. For once in my life I'll admit that the French are right about something. Moving to nuclear energy and an electric-based economy would also have the benefit of de-funding the governments and the terrorists they support who are attempting to destroy us and greatly alter our way of life.

Geothermal energy has enormous potential. One article I read claims that the availability of geothermal energy is "130,000 times America's current yearly consumption of energy."

That's a lot of energy just sitting in the ground as heat. Of course it's still an emerging technology and could take decades to develop and deploy, but it sure beats paying money to people who want to kill you.
