Specious Argument Against Nuclear Energy

From Thies Beckers, aka the “Atomic Jedi”:

Lately in the Netherlands the anti-nukes have been using the “nuclear waste-heat causes climate change” canard.

I wanted to know how much this was compared to the influence of carbon dioxide on the whole deal. And turns out, waste-heat is insignificant on a global scale. There are some local effects which should be considered, but generally, the benefits of having zero-carbon power vastly outweighs the negatives.

Thanks, Thies.  I had not heard this argument, but it doesn’t surprise me to run across garbage like this.
