This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: draft1, Nuclear GHG emissions are compared to just fossil fuel GHG emissions, so GHGE levels are actually higher. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Nuclear GHGE levels are higher than expected, and thus does not lower GHGE levels., Capital intensive, heavily subsidized nuclear plants undermine funding for renewable energy sources and delay effective technologies for GHGE avoidance. supports Favoring nuclear energy means cutting funding for alternative energy resources., Data on GHG emissions is trimmed, so GHGE levels are actually higher. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Whenever higher grade ore is assumed to be used, nuclear GHGE levels compared to fossil fuel levels and data on GHGE levels are trimmed, the levels are higher than expected., High grade ore is assumed to be used, so GHGE levels are actually higher. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Nuclear GHGE levels are higher than expected, and thus does not lower GHGE levels., Nuclear GHGE levels are higher than expected, and thus does not lower GHGE levels. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Nuclear plants should not be tripled unless nuclear energy lowers GHGE levels., Favoring nuclear energy deprives funding to alternate energies that are more efficient in reducing GHGE levels therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Nuclear plants should not be tripled., Favoring nuclear energy deprives funding to alternate energies that are more efficient in reducing GHGE levels therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Nuclear energy doesn't lower GHGE levels as expected, and deprives funding for alternative energies implies nuclear plants should not be tripled., Favoring nuclear energy means cutting funding for alternative energy resources. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) If favoring nuclear energy means cutting costs for alternative energy resources, then it should not be favored., The Kyoto Protocol require no full nuclear-fuel-cycle of carbon assessment. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Data on GHG emissions is trimmed, so GHGE levels are actually higher., Nuclear cost overruns are higly probable, as claimed by Standard and Poor's. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Nuclear energy should not be always favored over alternate energy sources., Data on GHG emissions is trimmed, so GHGE levels are actually higher. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Nuclear GHGE levels are higher than expected, and thus does not lower GHGE levels., Nuclear cost overruns are higly probable, as claimed by Standard and Poor's. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) If nuclear energy is not as climate efficient or cost efficient as expected, then it should not always be favored over alternate energy sources., High grade ore is assumed to be used, so GHGE levels are actually higher. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Whenever higher grade ore is assumed to be used, nuclear GHGE levels compared to fossil fuel levels and data on GHGE levels are trimmed, the levels are higher than expected., Nuclear GHGE levels are higher than expected, and thus does not lower GHGE levels. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) If nuclear energy is not as climate efficient or cost efficient as expected, then it should not always be favored over alternate energy sources., Nuclear GHGE levels are not compared to all energy sources. therefore (ArgScheme: disjunctive syllogism) Nuclear energy can be compared to all energy resources or just fossil fuels., Nuclear GHGE levels are higher than expected, and thus does not lower GHGE levels. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Nuclear plants should not be tripled., Nuclear GHGE levels are higher than expected, and thus does not lower GHGE levels. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Nuclear energy should not be always favored over alternate energy sources., Nuclear GHG emissions are compared to just fossil fuel GHG emissions, so GHGE levels are actually higher. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Whenever higher grade ore is assumed to be used, nuclear GHGE levels compared to fossil fuel levels and data on GHGE levels are trimmed, the levels are higher than expected., Under optimum conditions, only one or two steps in the fuel cycle are carbon free supports The Kyoto Protocol require no full nuclear-fuel-cycle of carbon assessment., Nuclear energy doesn't lower GHGE levels as expected. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Nuclear energy doesn't lower GHGE levels as expected, and deprives funding for alternative energies implies nuclear plants should not be tripled.
