...least $3,000 more for the hybrid. And so there's something that governments and environmentalists ought to agree on, right now: give consumers a motivation to go green. Currently, if I pay my utility bill through a direct debit to my checking account, I get a small but welcome discount. It should be the same if I switch to renewables: the utility should give me a saving, which the government can subsidize with a tax break (it can't be more expensive than building the nuclear stations that Prime Minister Tony Blair proposed in May).

But as TIME reported in March on the basis of interviews with 28 individuals, including military officials, the families of the victims, human-rights investigators and local doctors, much of that account is dubious.

...nuclear fuel cycle carbon dioxide emissions show that they are between 0.5 percent and 4 percent of equivalent coal-fired emissions. So the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity clearly helps reduce the overall amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And finally, Zamore’s account of the radiological emissions from nuclear plants during normal operations was misleading. In fact, the normal operation of a coal plant releases more radioactive material than a nuclear plant.ROBERT WILLIAMSBrattleboro, Vt.May 23, 2006The writer is the spokesman for Entergy Vermont Yankee...
