It's impossible to be both for Global Warming and non-hysterical. If you look at the satellite data for the last 50 years (drroyspencer.com), the temperature has been going up at a rate of about 1C (1.8F) per century. There's nary a trace of acceleration.

So, on average, we would expect the global average temperature to go up about 0.8C (1.5F) by 2100. And that's presupposing that we understand the dynamics of climate -- heck, we don't even understand cloud formation well enough to model it accurately.

(Edit: So the question to you is... if the middle of North Carolina becomes as hot as the north of South Carolina... is that really a problem? It doesn't quite work that way, but it's a good "1st order appproximation" to understand the depth of the hoax)

Global Warming is a hoax being pushed by politicians. And then propagated by guys like Gizortnik who, I think, suffers from having a physics background, and thus thinks that theory is more important than reality.

It very much is.

Fundamentally, the reason you actually want to use Nuclear Power from a business perspective... is that it's cheap.

At least, the fuel is cheap. Once you've got the fuel, you're basically set for decades. The amount of energy and expense that is actually needed to bring in coal or natural gas is absolutely extreme by comparison.

The KGB was the primary driving force of anti-nuclear movements in the west. This is because the USSR had already been absolutely stunned by the industrial and technological capacity of the US to produce nuclear weapons (going back to the days of the "Bomber Gap" panic) and needed any available mechanism to keep the US from running circles around them in the nuclear arms race. Additionally, it could work as a major economic victory against the US who would have to rely entirely on oil supplies, which would have to be acquired from Arab countries, which were currently very receptive to Socialism in the form of Pan Arabism.

One of the greatest victories the KGB ever had was the economic damage of the OPEC Oil Embargos which really hurt the US economy in the 70's.

Everywhere else in the world, Socialist and Communist states were fanatic about acquiring nuclear weapons as both a status symbol, and as a weapon to change power balances that the US (and even the Soviets) were crafting.

So, the USSR pushed it's cultural influences as a weapon to emphasize the dangers of nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors.

China has inherited this mantle. The Green Energy efforts are primarily enriching Chinese Lithium mines, and the anti-nuclear sentiment is still being funded (likely by them and the Saudis) to keep America from being energy independent.

And for just basic bitch environmental concerns, no one does more damage to the environment than Communists.
