Famous Green says we need to go nuclear
From a story in the Independent:
Global warming is now advancing so swiftly that only a massive expansion of nuclear power as the world’s main energy source can prevent it overwhelming civilisation, the scientist and celebrated Green guru, James Lovelock, says.
One response from an environmentalist:
Climate change and radioactive waste both pose deadly long-term threats, and we have a moral duty to minimise the effects of both, not to choose between them.
Idealism, meet Pragmatism.
