Basil and Spice Review by Loyd Eskildson Our Choice (Rodale/ Nov 2009) “Our Choice”  is former Vice President Gore’s third book on global warming. “………….., China has embarked on an ambitious plan to dominate the production of solar panels, will also soon become the largest source of wind power, and is building an 800 KV super-grid as part of the most sophisticated smart-transmission network in the world………….

As for nuclear reactors, Gore points out that almost every one of the world’s 435 power reactors has its own unique design – horribly inefficient in design, construction, and training costs. He sees limitations on reactor potential due to water shortages in many areas, fear of illicit conversion of fuel into weapons, and waste disposal problems
