Nuclear power is inevitable
It seems to me that if we in the UK become totally reliant on Gas from Russia and Oil from the Middle East we shall be permanently at risk of supply failure or cost increase.In the short term there are no other forms of energy capable of meeting the nations needs.In the longer term when the world comes to it's senses and stops burning the valuable resource of fossil fuels in heating appliances we shall need to turn to electricity or log fires for warmth.The "Not in my back yard syndrome" when it comes to Nuclear fuel is really rather a nonsence when one studies the location of several French Nuclear reactors placed all along the north coast of France less than 100 miles to the south. If they blow we blow with hem.I know Nuclear is not sustainable but in the short term we are going to need to use this source of energy.OK there are risks and problems but in life dont you find that when you start fiddling with a problem you most often find an answer. If we bannish un safe Nuclear will we ever find safe nuclear?Does anyone out there have an opinion on this.
