A Plan for Destroying the Human Race
"Suspension of licensing for new nuclear power plants until the problems of nonproliferation, protection from domestic attack, and permanent waste storage have been adequately addressed." - Joseph Romm
Utterly insane!

No nuclear-power-related proliferation yet ...
No attacks on nuclear power plants, and no harm, from nuclear waste, to any neighbour of any plant ever. Sounds as if the three requirements might already have been adequately met.

The needed exercise of common sense, for a change
The ideas listed here provide sensible ways of going forward reasonably. Thanks for all of them.
If it all right to do so here, I would like to add to these ideas by way introducing other recommendations for action from Robley George.

ABSTRACT
Socioeconomic Democracy provides a comprehensive, just, realizable, freedom-enhancing, environment-respecting, democratic means of accomplishing not only the modest, though presently doubtful, Millennium Development Goals, but also simultaneously resolving or reducing a large number of other very real and crucial planetary problems, any of which could easily preclude realization of all well-intentioned MDGs. Socioeconomic Democracy is a practical socioeconomic system wherein there exist both some form of Universally Guaranteed Personal Income (UGPI) and some form of Maximum Allowable Personal Wealth (MAPW) limit, with both the lower bound on personal poverty and the upper bound on personal wealth set democratically by all participants of society.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Socioeconomic Democracy provides a comprehensive, just, easily implemented, freedom-enhancing, environment-respecting, fundamentally democratic means of accomplishing not only the modest UN Millennium Development Goals, but also simultaneously resolving or reducing a large number of other very real, critical and interdependent planetary problems, almost any of which could easily preclude realization of the eight well-intentioned MDGs, and all of which are currently extremely costly, distracting and unnecessary impediments and barriers to universal Sustainable Development for All............
Always, with thanks for these discussions,

for a change
Becker said that members of the committee took the unusual step of instructing him to be bold and not requiring consensus on ideas included in the plan. "Not all of our advisors agree on all of these ideas," Becker said. "We recognized it would be unlikely, if not impossible, to get consensus on more than 300 action items. But all of us agreed that the next president must be bold and must move quickly to assert federal leadership on global warming."
