U.S. and Russia launch major nukes deal

United Press International: "Nuclear energy is not a timely or cost-effective way to reduce our carbon emissions to address global climate change,' Michele Boyd, head of the Public Citizen's Energy Program, which lobbies Congress on energy issues, said ahead of the summit in a statement. 'Nuclear reactors are extremely expensive and take many years to build. They require massive government subsidies that will monopolize funding that instead should be used to develop strategically diverse energy solutions, such as efficiency measures and renewable sources that would quickly reduce carbon emissions.'"
