It was an anti nuclear power display and had nuclear power as a source of CO2. I pointed out that CO2 wasn't produced in nuclear power production, but they didn't want to hear it.

Nuclear power plants need to be powered themselves. It is done primarially through coal power. Coal plants do produce CO2, therefore the production of Nuclear power produces CO2.
Still, it's much less CO2 than is created if you just used oil or coal plants to supply us with energy
I'm an environmentalist but I'm also pro nuclear power. I know there are safe ways to store it in the short term, and I think that we will find some way to neutralize permanently what we have created over the long term.
