Bruce Sterling On Lovelock's Pro-Nuclear Stance

Posted by timothy on from the whistles-gunsmoke-and-tumbleweed dept.

Robert Berger writes "Bruce Sterling, author, journalist, editor, critic, blogger is also the creator of the Viridian Notes series of emails that comment on articles and websites about global warming. The current Viridian Note 00415: Doom is Nigh (scroll down past the inital links) has inserted his Sterling's pithy comments into Jame Lovelock's assertion that 'Nuclear power is the only green solution.'" (See also this earlier Slashdot post about Lovelock's nuclear apologia.)

    nobody likes nuclear energy

    James Lovelock does.
    And he's an well-known environmetalist.

    Somewhat finite? I wasn't aware something could just kind of have an end. Is that like Return of the King, or what?

    Try this.

    Remember those sea platforms that drill for oil?
    We are going to use them, but not to drill for oil
    Set up wind turbines, solar cells, and tidal power generators. You've got three ways to generate electricity, all from clean ol' mother earth, that don't pollute.

    If the need is increased, build more platforms.

    We also need to build more engines that can
    be powered by cooking oil, as the earlier
    slashdot article showed us.
