Please compare and contrast this with the costs of renewable energy per Watt costs. Teach what do you believe the cost of nuclear power is per Watt ?

As far as blacktop, that's simply the color of tar and asphalt. So, it's not like someone decided to make it that. Making it lighter would require more material and money. I really don't think that's going to be a huge help to the bigger picture, either. When you look at the entire planet, large cities are an extremely small portion of the total area. I would think that deforestation, ice melting, land cultivation, and other factors affect albedo on a much greater scale than black asphalt in cities. By the way, Teach, why haven't you responded to any of my comments yet? I am personally not opposed to more nuclear, but I don’t think it’s a viable solution by itself, either.

Unfortunately, like I said, there will be plenty of AGW folks who will be, and are, dead set against nuclear. So are most elected dems. Good for them.

It looks like the IPCC aren't quite the "climahysterics" you like to portray them as, Teach. I support nuclear power.
