a big way if we're going to stay below 550 ppm in 100 years. Without it, status quo, we will be looking at 800 ppm at least. This planet will be just short of uninhabitable.

Iran is a dangerous nation, and nuclear waste is an unimaginably dangerous pollutant, that is true.

You may know that Iran has horrendous air pollution, as do China and India. We're going to need parallel development of all non CO2 emitting energy generation technologies, nuclear included.

This is complex subject but it really is worth our time to familiarize ourselves with the nuclear protocols. It is entirely possible for Iran to develop safe nuclear technology and follow international law. We have to keep our eyes open.

The deal was that the nuclear nations would assist other nations with development of nuclear power in return for security measures. These are impossible to fudge, really.
