I wonder whether Charles Hendry actually believes the nonsense he is quoted as saying in the FT article?
�This is an exciting time. ... We are on the brink of the biggest nuclear renaissance since the 1950s ... We must go forward with new nuclear. We will be a darker, less prosperous nation without it.�

Has Huhne been compromised ? Is he now "backing" nuclear power because he's been offered a deal he can't refuse over his alleged misdemeanour(s) ?
The technology hasn't got any better since yesterday, has it ? So why now the glowing report ?

of the harsh reality that nuclear business, since its inception as a
means of producing big bombs, has been a hugely expensive and recklessly
dangerous con trick. The world will be a happier, safer and more honest
place without it. Unfortunately the laggards in this dawning realisation
are mostly politicians, some of whom are in a position to make big
decisions on our behalf.

You probably know that I don't do "rolling over".
I have left responses to Mark Lynas' diatribe on the Mail On Line web site,
one of which has been published. I have lodged a complaint to the Press
Complaints Commission that Mark's article offended the PCC rules on accuracy
and the responsibility of the press to point out what is fact and what is
conjecture (articles 1(i) and 1(iii) of the PCC's code). I am just a little
too old and decrepit to take to the streets and join the brave young uns in
direct action, but if the government ignores the facts like Mark and George
I may yet change my mind. Roll over? NEVER!

The day any Generation III nuclear power station is consented in Britain will be the day I become ashamed to be English
The Scots don't want nuclear, the Welsh are not allowed to object to nuclear and the Irish have always opposed nuclear.
The three main Westminster parties support French and foreign technology when the UK has huge wind and marine resources, global CCS advantages and poorly insulated buildings.
So much for informed democracy and an inquisitive British media. Where's the determination to drive in British technology and inventiveness ? Its a betrayal - with concrete monuments, possibly some of the few globally, standing unmissable testament for a century and more to British political and establishment gullibility. They may as well build one on the cliffs of Dover or Hastings to ram the obscenity home.
Its not done yet but it's probably beyond a close call now - guess its now up to hard economics or a positive radical campaigning renaissance, or the negative fate of the black swan

The same guy does not think ethics are relevant to the nuclear issue,
remember he said "As far as I am concerned ethics have nothing to do
