not just eliminate the middleman and use nuke power to begin with; you
can just tell them you are removing the CO2 from the air, when you are
really "removing it" by not generating it to begin with.
### Nukes are cool but with the current improvements in wind power
technology they might be superfluous. Yesterday I read an article in "Solar
Power" about new wind farms delivering power at 0.03 $/kWh, which is pretty
cheap indeed, even if nuclear power didn't have to shoulder so much
litigation and bureaucratic deadweight.
Also, they mention that Iceland is working on becoming the first hydrogen
economy, with the majority of power to be delivered by wind farms, and Shell
planning to build a system of hydrogen gas stations.
