Seems to me-- and has done for years -- that governments should pull their fingers out, and get on with it, quick. I have the strong impression that the nuclear lobby has bent politicians to their will, and much dislike the weasel words about ' a mix of de da de da and nuclear'. No. I am totally against this very long-term, and dangerous technology. Does anyone here support it, I wonder?
It is so obvious that in this small island (Britain) it would only take one medium accident to have terrifying effects, and for any programme to be terminated.Why start? The Germans seem to have more sense.
I am not sure, btw, that there is actually any shortage of supply of oil --- much is held in tankers moored here and there (off the Suffolk coast, e.g.) and belongs to speculators, such as JP Morgan. So far, it has been a one way bet. Presumably, unless trouble can be stirred up in some other oil-producing region, the revival of Libyan supplies will tend to depress the price. So the point may come when these positions will be unscrambled.
