In a recent study of 10 lean healthy individuals, both nuclear transcription factor - κB activation and nitrotyrosine were acutely increased ≤ 3-fold after a high GI meal by comparison with a low GI meal, suggesting that high - normal physiologic increases in blood glucose after meals could aggravate inflammatory processes (6).

By 1990 it is estimated, regulatory ratcheting had already increased the cost of nuclear by a factor of four.

Add to this the fact that an increase in nuclear reactors will lead to a depletion of uranium stocks within a century - unless you factor in «breeder reactors» that have so far been shunned as they can produce weapons - grade nuclear materials - and nuclear ambitions start to look decidedly shaky.

[3] Each state has interim targets it must meet beginning in 2020, and the EPA proposed that states use a combination of four «building blocks» to achieve the emissions reductions: (1) improving the efficiency (heat rate) of existing coal - fired power plants; (2) switching from coal - fired power by increasing the use and capacity factor, or efficiency, of natural - gas combined - cycle power plants; (3) using less carbon - intensive generating power, such as renewable energy or nuclear power; and (4) increasing demand - side energy - efficiency measures.

The so called Renewable Energy technologies such as Wind and Solar even if further refined and made more efficient, sought after efficiency increases that are now running into the problems of ever diminishing returns for the investments needed to raise those levels of efficiency, are now just one of the limiting factors in the hope of the so called Renewable Energy systems ever replacing today's base load coal, gas, oil, nuclear powered generators.
