  Mr Tindale is dead wrong if he thinks that nuclear power is a "bridge technolgy" to abate climate change. If we are to abate the catastrophic impacts of climate chage we need solutuions that are fast and affordable.  That rules out nuclear power. 

  Former Senator George Mitchell pointed this out in his book World on Fire over a decade ago.  Mitchell wrote that "for nuclear power to offset even 5% of global warming emmissions would require that worldwide nuclear capacity be nearly doubled from today's level.  That means that nuclear power is simply not a medium term option for slowing global warming."

  If Mr Tindale's "Climate Answer" is to build nuclear reactors as a "bridge technology" he is truly building a bridge to nowhere!
