Nuclear folly

It was inevitable that the Government would come out in favour of nuclear - at the third attempt - padded out with some "green" credibility.

Would you prefer an windfarm or a nuclear power station or a nuclear dump in your back yard? They are going to have to go somewhere and you know that we are soooo remote as to be irrelevant to Westminster.

Carbon sequestration is a potentially dangerous idea, unless the geology is absolutely right. I understand that shale may provide a stable surface substance, but that soft rocks will dissolve to produce acid and vast caverns underground, which shoulds like another environmental disaster waiting to happen.
