One answer to a couple of questions
Try reading Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy by Dr. Arjun Makhijani of Institute for Energy and Environment Research. You can download a copy for free at www.ieer.org, or order a printed copy.
Getting to essentially a 100% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 is not only necessary, it's possible--and it can be done while closing all nuclear reactors and building no new ones. In fact, it can only be done without building new ones, since wasting huge amounts of money on new reactors would divert the resources needed to achieve a carbon-free energy future.
And for more info on nuclear power issues, studies on nukes/climate, etc., go to www.nirs.org.
