Obama speaking on Climate Change

.

"the science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear, sea levels are rising, coastlines are shrinking, we've seen record drought and spreading famine and stroms that are growing stronger with each passing season" he said.

.

Note: This is very promising to hear, but his solutions include "safe" nuclear and "clean" coal.

.

He said "we'll tap nuclear power, making sure it is safe and we will develop clean coal technologies".

.

I don't agree that nuclear power is a solution to climate change.

.

The risks of a nuclear accident and the risks associated with nuclear waste and nuclear weapons cannot be made "safe".
