Saw this chilling TV programme on Saturday Night; "The End of The World As We Know It" The programme hit very hard after the Tsunamis.
The programme's centrepiece was an interview with James Lovelock, architect of the Gaia theory who believed that without nuclear power we will release so much CO2 into the atmosphere in the next ten years that global warming will become an irreversible process.
I think its amazing that a diehard Green like Lovelock will sanction something nuclear power. He's clearly under no illusion that civilisation will abandon "progress" in order to survive. On the other hand it seemed a little pathetic watching the director of Friends of The Earth still grappling with post-Marxist solutions to the problem.
I've always been in favour of nuclear power, and i was really shocked to learn that the UKs last Power Station is about to be closed down!!! How the hell did that happen. Surely we can can build better Power Sattions these days anyway?
