AM - Environmentalist says nuclear energy the answer to global warming

The Shock is that James Lovelock is advocating a switch to Nuke energy. You can understand his reasons but has he really thought about the long term effects of all that spent fuel waiting for reprocessing; just waiting for terrorists to steal and hold us all to ransom? Not to mention that nuclear is not all its cracked up [!] to be. The solution is to decentralise energy production pronto using renewables, make it economic to produce more energy efficient homes and workplaces and to retro-fit others. None of this is beyond the wit of people who could plan to build a huge amount of nuclear power stations- so as to produce a safer, more sustainable world without storing up a 'nuclear warming' problem for later generations.
