The other Tony Stark claims coal is a very serious present pollution problem and sees new generation nuclear power plants as the best viable replacements. Nuclear power production between 1971 - 2009 prevented 64 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere. Fossil fuel power plants pump out 5 billion tons every year. China Syndrome vs China Smog? He compared the 50 people died in the Chernobyl accident (Fukushima?) compared to causalities from coal-fired powerplants - 13,000 killed every year. He favors new gen, cheaper and compact molten-salt nuclear reactors; use 'spent' fuel rods from decommisoned reactors, use only 2% of radioactive material volume, use decreased half-life radioactive material and they would have reduced risk of meltdowns compared to current fission reactor design. Another Tony Stark, Bill Gates favors and supports Terra Power designs, liquid sodium-cooled reactors also using depleted uranium fuel rods.
