Nuclear Power?

It's back on the agenda.

The miracle cheap clean energy that will allow us to carry on using our ever more powerful gadgets, and our H-D televisions. And of course our computers. (Guilty, m'lud.)

The miracle energy with one huge drawback - how do we keep the waste safe for several thousand years?

There has been no major accident since Tchernobyl, but there have been reports of leaks and leukemia clusters.

How much of our energy will it produce? How much will it cost? How can we be sure the companies will pay for the eventual decommissioning and safe disposal of waste?


Why can't we do as well as Germany on the renewable energy front?
