JANE FONDA, SHE IS BEING BLAMED FOR GLOBAL WARMING, REMEMBER THE CHINA SYNDROME?

If you were asked to name the biggest global-warming villains of the past 30 years, here’s one name that probably wouldn’t spring to mind: Jane Fonda.

YOU NEED TO READ THIS. INTERESTING TAKE ON THE U.S.'S CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS WITH GLOBAL WARMING.

IS NUCLEAR POWER OR WAS NUCLEAR POWER A VIABLE ANSWER TO GLOBAL WARMING TODAY??
ALSO, FRANCE PRODUCES 80.0% OF THEIR ELECTRICITY BY NUCLEAR POWER.

What it did produce, stoked by “The China Syndrome,” was a widespread panic. The nuclear industry, already foundering as a result of economic, regulatory and public pressures, halted plans for further expansion. And so, instead of becoming a nation with clean and cheap nuclear energy, as once seemed inevitable, the United States kept building power plants that burned coal and other fossil fuels. Today such plants account for 40 percent of the country’s energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions. Anyone hunting for a global-warming villain can’t help blaming those power plants — and can’t help wondering too about the unintended consequences of Jane Fonda.
