Re: Are Renewables Cheaper than Nuclear?
@Jamie in Chile It's an interesting notion, but I think we need to stress climate change prevention rather that what may happen if everything goes to shit. Ultimately, nuclear meltdowns aren't that dangerous, and cases like Chernobyl can't really happen with modern plants even if left to melt down. Plus, consider the context of a population without iodine deficiency...

I forgot to respond to this.
Of course they can make errors, but in a hard-science like this, I wouldn't count on that. And while I have heard of them praising the healthcare in Cuba, I'm not sure how they're defending that; they could mean that the system of healthcare in Cuba is good (they have a universal government run system).
If I were to guess it might be that the people who conducted the study were looking at statistics from under Castro's regime (which was during the Cold War), which may have fudged the numbers, and they took them in good faith.
I haven't done too much research, but hey, it might be better than other countries. I doubt it of course, but it's possible.
The WHO is especially concerned with environmental issues that affect human health (like climate change). Have you ever listened to what the WHO puts out? They usually alert when a natural disaster is about to strike an area.
Climate change is a science issue, not a political issue. The WHO has no interest in hearing the opinions of morons with no scientific credentials.

Of course it is! What the hell are you talking about?

I never said it was an NGO, but I'm not surprised you interpreted how I said it in that way.
Oh yes, I forgot Greenpeace is representative of all NGOs out there.
I did not watch your video.
