[escepticos] un par de artículos sobre el asunto de la eficiencia y utilidad de la energía nuclear como alternativa al cambio climático y a los necrofósiles (jejeje)

Nuclear Power Not Efficient Enough To Replace Fossil Fuels, Study Finds
ScienceDaily (Mar. 5, 2008) — Nuclear energy production must increase by 
more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future 
energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable 
prospect. According to a report published in Inderscience's 
International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology such a 
large growth rate will require a major improvement in nuclear power 
efficiency otherwise each new power plant will simply cannibalize the 
energy produced by earlier nuclear power plants.

Questioning Nuclear Power's Ability To Forestall Global Warming
ScienceDaily (Apr. 22, 2008) — Rising energy and environmental costs may 
prevent nuclear power from being a sustainable alternative energy source 
in the fight against global warming, according to a new study.
In the article, Gavin M. Mudd and Mark Diesendorf investigate the 
"eco-efficiency" of mining and milling uranium for use as fuel in 
nuclear power plants. Advocates of nuclear power claim it has the 
potential to mitigate global warming. Detractors, however, link it to 
dangers such as proliferation of nuclear weapons and problems such as 
permanent disposal of nuclear waste.

Interesante material para un debate energético...
