Paper Summary:

This paper argues that installing solar collectors on rooftops and insulating homes in America will not provide citizens and businesses with the energy needed to keep American strong; therefore, it is paramount that the U.S. continues to use fossil fuels. The author stresses that the green movement offers an alarmist misuse of statistics; distressing techniques have been used to calculate atmospheric temperatures above the oceans of the world have resulted in a 40% exaggeration of 'global warming' according to an international study by scientists. The paper relates that the sea levels are rising around the planet but not in any uniform fashion; it is a natural phenomenon in between ice ages.

From the Paper:

"Nuclear power is extremely dangerous and nuclear plants can get out of control: The Chernobyl nuclear accident in Russia in 1986 caused an estimated 4,229 deaths in the Ukraine, and unknown number of cancers throughout Europe, according to Dr. Richard Smart, Department of Nuclear Medicine at St. George hospital in Kogarah Australia. World renowned radiation expert Dr. Helen Caldicott - founder and president of Physicians for Social Responsibility - explains that plutonium, a by-product of nuclear fission, is "so carcinogenic that hypothetically half a kilo even distributed could cause cancer in everyone on earth." Also, five kilos of plutonium in the hands of a terrorist can make a sizable nuclear weapon; currently, there over 1,200 tons of plutonium are stored around the world near nuclear plant sites. Additionally, reprocessing spent fuel "causes deadly radiation releases into the environment that are a threat to public health." "
