Like a lot of these types of issues, each side of the argument has their own barrow to push. The oil companies and nuclear proponents say we have heaps of oil and nuclear is a clean alternative etc.

The "greenies" would have everyone revert to riding horses to work, living on 5 acres and be self sufficient in food and energy...how big would the urban sprawl be then.

I think the "truth" lies somewhere between the two. I guess it is up to everyone to try to find "their truth" from the information available. Even if we had no global warming issue and enough oil to last a hundred centuries, we should still never waste energy. If we all try to do our bit to save energy and resources, we will all be at least doing something for the environment, regardless of wether the issues are true or not.
