Nuclear energy
provides beautiful images too and is
also very close to greenhouse gas free. This photo shows two recently
completed CANDU 6 reactors in China.

We are reminded
of human interaction with the
environment. The sky is hazy. The water is brown from soil washed down from upstream land.

We often
promote nuclear energy simply as a
greenhouse gas free substitute for other fuels. It can be more than that.

Nuclear energy
could be used to make more water available for agriculture via pumping or
possibly desalination.

Energy employed
that way could play a role in
absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. The integration of nuclear
energy into control of the carbon cycle can turn thus it into a creator of carbon sinks through influence on
agriculture and forestry. Doug Lightfoot will tell us how to get more from
nuclear fission resources.
