Chapter One: Power Plant CO2 is 70% of the world’s accumulating Global Warming CO2. Data

Global Warming's major cause: The world's 138,000 fossil fuel-burning power plants

Global Warming Situation. Global Warming's CO2 data arranged in a new "big picture" form. A simple CO2 balance diagram showing a quick summary of combined NOAA, IPCC, and CARMA data.

The data reveals a single CO2 mitigation category that will stop Global Warming's advance quickly - in perhaps in as little as 5 years. MORE>> Summary .pdf

Mankind IS capable of screwing up something as big as the earth's atmosphere 1 part per million (ppm) at a time. And, in fact, is doing it!

Chapter Two: Coal2Nuclear Converting fossil fuel power plants to TRISO nuclear to stop Global Warming.

We cannot avoid converting coal power plants to TRISO nuclear if we want to stop Global Warming. Summary as a magazine article

'Coal Yard' nuke conversion reactors. 100% CLEAN ELECTRICITY. The necessary conversion equipment is available now. TRISO nuclear fuels can duplicate a coal fire's heat. One TRISO reactor can produce 200+ times as much electricity as a wind turbine with the reliability of coal.

TRISO nuclear fuels have been used in the United States, Germany, and other countries to power commercial electricity generation in the past. Now Global Warming has renewed interest in replacing coal boilers with TRISO nuclear boilers and China, South Africa, and Russia have developed modern versions. Please have your engineers run a budgetary estimate. MORE>>

The TRISO nuclear power plant at Fort St. Vrain, Platteville, Colorado, is proof that 'Coal Yard Nukes' will work well.

Why upgrade existing coal plants? Why use pebble bed reactors? PBMR (Pebble Bed Modular Reactor) Update

Coal-Burning Power Plants: The Biggest Single Cause of Global Warming. Where are these numbers coming from?

Global Warming's Smoking Gun: The world's 138,000 power plants. World wide, power plants make 70% - or 11 billion tons - of the 16.3 billion tons of the annual excess CO2 that's causing Global Warming. That's about three times more CO2 than the world's next biggest CO2 polluter group, the world's 600 million cars and trucks.

Hybrid Nuke: The Low-cost Alternative To Conventional Nuclear Power Plants. Made from a pebble bed reactor and coal power plant parts.

'Hybrid' nuke. A new kind of electricity plant. 100% CLEAN ELECTRICITY FAST. Build cost will be more than coal but much less than today's conventional nuclear, running cost same or less than coal. A conventional nuke earns about 1 billion dollars each year and Hybrids can be up to half as large. Simple, low-cost, and quick-to-build from mostly coal power plant parts.

Please have your engineers run a budgetary estimate. Small nukes, built near cities to minimize grid costs and problems. Hybrid Nukes would also make excellent replacements for those small coal-burning power plants too old to upgrade to Coal Yard nukes and too dirty to keep in service. Nothing will shorten your life faster than not having access to electricity. MORE>> Windmill Fantasies: Why Wind Won't Work

Chapter Three: Oil As unlikely as it may seem, our future oil supplies are very dependant upon TRISO nuclear energy.

OIL, General 3A Conversion, Not Conservation 3B Peak Oil? How Much Is Really Left?

Global Warming Oils (Add to the pool of atmospheric CO2) 1 Pumpable Oil - The Peak Oil 2 Unconventional Oil From Sands and Sludge 3 Synthetic Oil From Coal, Natural Gas, Old Tires

Carbon-Neutral Oils (Do not add to the pool of atmospheric CO2) 4 Oil From Wood, Corn, and Biomass 5 Oil From Air and Water

About TRISO Nuclear Pebbles: The Alternative Nuclear Energy. Just like there are different kinds of engines and their fuels, there are different kinds of reactors and their fuels. TRISO nuclear fuels are used to power very hot reactors intended to duplicate the fire-hot heat of fossil fuels. Wikipedia TRISO_fuel

TRISO Nuclear Pebbles. Just as the advanced electronics technology for computers is in the microcomputer chip itself, the advanced nuclear technology for pebble bed reactors is in the pebble itself. Blowing on them makes them give off heat.

Like a pile of charcoal briquettes in your grille, a garbage can of pebbles is enough to make the critical mass needed to get lots of heat out of the pebbles while the pebbles look after themselves. Like the "bed" of hot briquettes in your back yard grille, a "bed" of TRISO pebbles is incapable of exploding. Pebble beds are the ALTERNATIVE source of nuclear energy that offers less: Less risk, cost, and profit. MORE>>

About Nuclear Issues: Peripheral nuclear issues. Nuclear Issues Radiophobia: Keeping Us Afraid Of Ending Global Warming

We Love Sunlight But Fear Nuclear Power: "Natural" risks are easier to accept.

The word radiation stirs thoughts of nuclear power, X-rays, and danger, so we shudder at the thought of erecting nuclear power plants in our neighborhoods. But every day we're bathed in radiation that has killed many more people than nuclear reactors: sunlight. It's hard for us to grasp the danger because sunlight feels so familiar and natural. --- (MSN.com) Ever held a banana? It's radioactive.

Whatever the problems of nuclear, they are nothing compared to climate change.

Like racial and religious fear, we've learned nuclear fear from the nuclear fear mongers, and now it, too, has become a destroyer of our world.

"Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts." --- FDR
