Oh, yeah. Leave it for later generation to clean up... very much better.
Which is precisely my point. It's always "convenient"... so how can it be "clean"?Thepoint is that TMI and Chernobyl were accidents. Sellafield isn't. Nuclear policy overrides safety when it's "convenient" -*Any* policy *always* overrides safety when it's "convenient". If you don't know that, you aren't very old.
It wouldn't. except perhaps if the toxins didn't last as long as the nuclear material.<quote> The Sellafield nuclear installation in north-west England produces vital energy to the people of the United Kingdom. It also produces weapons grade material needed for the production of nuclear weapons. For these reasons, Sellafield is an important facility for the U.K. in terms of domestic and security needs. Although Sellafield provides important services for the people and government of the United Kingdom, it has had a detrimental effect on the environment. </quote> Because it's "important" it's allowed to pollute. And while it "produces vital energy for the UK", it hurts Ireland which has none of the benefits of this facility.And if this were some industrial plant dumping PCBs or DDT or any other weird organic chemical the ocean, how would it be any different than a nuke plant?
You mean he isn't trying make your country a theocracy? woohoo! Such a lot of baseless rumours going about.a "Christian" country...Britain is Christian?? Not since 1960, I wager.We have a State Church... something that you don't have... yet. Though, if your president has his way...Snarky, baseless, brainless angry-at-W comments don't help your credibility.
