Amory Lovins: Nuclear power: economics and climate-protection potential.
Amory Lovins documents a dramatic and little-known development: worldwide, efficient use of electricity plus decentralized low- or no-carbon electric generation are already at least twice as big as nuclear power and growing an order of magnitude faster, simply because they cost far less. New nuclear plants not only can't compete with central coal and gas plants, but also can't compete by hopelessly wide margins with these cheaper decentralized alternatives. Nuclear investments would only reduce and retard the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, because they'd save far less carbon per dollar and provide less new electricity per year. These differences, once hypothetical, are now richly confirmed by actual market behavior.
Read the very detailed paper, or its abstract, which can be downloaded from RMI's site.

Rolling Stone - excellent article on the rigged presidential election
I thought this topic was over , but Rolling Stone has published a comprehensive and well referenced article on exactly how the US presidential election of 2004 was rigged.
Anyone with any sense who was present in the US on election day knew that something was phoney, but this article brings all the evidence together in one place, and makes it totally clear that Bush is not the elected president.
