Nuke power costs -not rosy for supporters

A week or two back a prominent scientist touted nuke power as the answer to all our global warming nightmares -ignoring the externalised costs to future generations of cleaning up the waste [still no sign of a solution folks] and the increasing security risks and so costs of safety and the potential damage to whole swathes of land should a terrorist manage to plant a bomb or crash a plane into one -remember Chernobyl? SO now we also need to note that it's probably cheaper and safer to subsidize the development of renewable energy. There's a good letter in the Church Times today on that subject too.

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
