Maybe we should just stop pushing the Bush administration to come up with solutions to the global climactic changes caused by greenhouse gases. Just looking at his other "solutions" to problems should have told us that he would probably screw it up.
The U.S. is currently hosting China, France, Japan and Russia in the first meeting of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership. Great Britain and the International Atomic Energy Agency are also sitting in on the meeting.
It seems that Bush's solution to greenhouse gas production is to encourage the spread of nuclear energy. And he's sinking $250 million U.S. dollars into his plan. He wants the GNEP to sell nuclear fuel to nations that "promise" to only use it for peaceful production of electric power.
It's too bad that he doesn't listen to anyone, because someone needs to remind him of Iran, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, not to mention the problem of disposing of nuclear waste. Besides, it's just silly for a country to be pushing nuclear energy when that country hasn't built a nuclear plant since 1979.
As usual, a Bush solution could turn out to be worse than the problem it was supposed to solve.
