EPA regulation of greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act (CAA) A. Nuclear power regulation D. Solar radiation management If I’ve missed something you think is really important to US climate policy, I guess that only goes to prove my point about the breadth and depth of the field. Social Cost of Carbon D.

Those findings might surprise physicists, who will be aware that the energy density of nuclear fission is so high that just a fingertip of uranium has an energy equivalent of 5000 barrels of oil. Indeed, it is understandable why people might fear radiation given that you can’t see it – yet the same can be said of the air that we breathe.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is from transportation. This accounts for 28% of emissions, coming in above agriculture, commercial & residential, industry and power generation. The average North American drives about 10,500 miles per year.

The failures at Homestake are emblematic of the toxic legacy of the American uranium industry, one that has been well-documented from its boom during the Cold War until falling uranium prices and concerns over the dangers of nuclear power decimated the industry in the 1980s. All the houses are going to be gone. There will be nothing.”.

The Regulation’s proposed criteria for gaseous fossil fuels (which includes both conventional natural gas, and synthetic gas derived from coal gasification) allow investment in their consumption without restriction in function, scale, or time period, as long as greenhouse gas emissions are no higher than 100 gCO2eq/kWh (see §4.29-31

We know we must now work to both cut greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the severity of climate change and at the same time work to adapt to the impacts we can no longer avoid. Gleick claims I misrepresented the Ehrlichs and Holdren, who elsewhere note the difference between nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons, but I did not.
