really? Some better [citation needed]. 2002: Scandinavia and the Baltic countries had the cleanest air in Europe this summer while Greece, France and Italy faced the worst smog levels, said the European Environment Agency (EEA). http://www.am.gov.lv/en/?id=574 http://www.am.gov.lv/en/?id=574 And BTW, I am fully in favor of replacing coal plants with nuclear.

Scandinavia is mostly driven by nuclear and hydro power. So the point still stands.

  Hydro - yes. Nuclear - no. Denmark and Norway - no nuclear. Sweden - 45% nuclear. Finland - 30% nuclear.

    Uh, you're saying nuclear no, but then nuclear 45% of Sweden and 30% of Finland, so you must mean nuclear yes.

Smog is generated by petro chemicals, heat and sunlight. That's why LA gets smog and Alaska doesn't - now why would hot sunny France with lots of people (and cars) get Smog but sparsely populated cold Scandanvia not?
