Fred Singer - Fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas, are really solar energy stored up over millions of years of geologic history. These fuels have made possible the Industrial Revolution of the past three centuries, with huge advances in the living standard, and advances in science that have led to the development of sustainable, non-fossil-based sources of energy -- assuring availability of vital energy supplies far into the future. Energy based on nuclear fission has many of the same advantages: it emits no carbon dioxide (CO2) and is practically inexhaustible.
