    You are entirely right. I am no scientist, no specialist on environmental issues, and not particularly well informed about an awful lot of important issues. I started this thread because of the coincidental occurrence that I had just read the National Geographic article and soon after some one on another thread about nuclear war tossed out a similar inquiry, but that was not the place to discuss it.

    It was not, and is not my intent to suggest that coal or nuclear energy are the only options that need to be considered. The introduction to the thread was not perfect and certainly not all inclusive. But it still succeeded in drawing your attention and your thoughts, which I am glad to hear and hope that others will be also.

These are scary times in which we live, eh?
