How's solar and wind power contributing to global warming? Even new, very expensive coal plants are not contributing to global warming :) See: https://secure.wi

How's solar and wind power contributing to global warming? Even new, very expensive coal plants are not contributing to global warming :) See: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Schwarze_Pumpe_power_station https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Schwarze_Pump... Thorium sounds great, can you tell me how many of the current power plants the new ones planed in the US. will use Thorium? Could not find this information. Is there some plan for proper reprocessing? I can just talk for Germany, as I'm unfamiliar with the situation in the US or elsewhere. In G. nuclear power plants are not insured, because no insurance company takes the risk. Pesticide plants however are insured and have to pay a lot for their potential risk. So in G. the nuclear power industry gets the profits whereas the risks are shouldered by the citizens (and their ancestors).
