Worldwatch Poll: What do you Think?

"Nobody wants any more Chornobyls. The question is, can that outcome be ensured without phasing out nuclear power altogether?" asks Karen Charman in "Brave Nuclear World?", the second in a two-part series on the nuclear power industry in the July/August 2006 issue of World Watch. According to Charman, doubling the world's current nuclear energy output would reduce global carbon emissions by just one-seventh the amount required to avoid the worst impacts of global warming. Where do you stand on the issue? Take our poll and let us know what you think.
