Brown goes radioactive


Nuclear power, ID cards, war, $25 billion to bail out Northern Rock...told you that Brown would be worse than Blair. Graphic from the cartoonist Leon Kuhn who has an exhibition of similar cartoons on at the Imperial War Museum at present.

The following is from Scientists for Global Responsibility.

With the government due to make an announcement on the future of nuclear power in the UK, Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) reiterates its opposition to the building of new nuclear power stations.

Below are links to a selection of SGR's recent resources on this issue, laying out our case.

I'm tired of this just like I'm tired of chemistry. I've suggested a debate about this and SGR are going to present the case using these powerpoint slides and some form of teleconference for questions. But Greenpeace, Green Party, and SGR have complained about nuclear to their detriment for years, and not stopped anything, just followed the BBC agenda. I liked that earlier item about Norilsk. Have you any idea how much radiation comes from non-nuclear industries of coal and smelting.
