In my post from March 29 on the "State of the Planet "08" conference, sponsored by The Earth Institute and "The Economist," I talked about a close encounter I had with the gentle Chairlady of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. We talked about nuclear power and I said, among other things, that societies needed to choose and any emphasis on nuclear power would necessarily take a tremendous amount of wind out of the sails, or turbines, as "twere, of the renewables industry.
Here's an excellent ten-minute video from Greenpeace UK that makes my point rather well.
