| Green Power
The thread about the new coal powered station going ahead in my neighbourhood reminded me of a documentary we watched at the end of last term at college/uni...Filmed a little while back before the whole "Global warming" thing exploded by Paul Theroux ( Louis brother )..all about climate change and global warming...Some very serious ecologists/scientists and conservation people were in it...and by the end of the brilliant doc the overall feeling was that the only way to save the planet and the greenest form of energy is to go back to Nuclear Power..which sounds rediculous at first after the many years of trying to get rid...but when you listened to the facts etc and the pros and cons....ok...so once in a blue moon a chenoble might happen ( unlikely now they have learnt and improved technology) but losing a few hundred thousand people over losing the entire planet actually starts to make sense...of the 32 people in our "Countryside Management and Landscape Management" class...the majority agreed that it made sense.....
Thought this would be a good debate starter and sorry if its been covered elsewhere?...
