  Small is beautiful and Nuclear is craziness.
  How brave is it to send somebody else's children off to war?
  How brave is it to condemn future generations to live on an island that glows in the dark?
  For today, and for today only, the Nuclear option is attractive, and as you know;Tomorrow never comes?
  Where is it written that we British have all the answers? Is it the same place that decrees that only here the wind drops and the clouds roll in?
  Have we decided to manufacture all that we need here upon our island haven? Perhaps we are projected to again be the powerhouse of the world and get out infants back into gainful employment?
  Every fifty years or so we are to begin to build more and more Nuclear plants. Nuclear plants that like cultures in a Petri dish spawn along our coasts. [This is one way to eventually become self-sufficient, there being no coastline left for harbours.]
  By the time the first tranche of these plants is fit to be dismantled the space it occupies will be needed for yet another of it's kind.
  And where are we to get this nuclear material from. Does it, unlike oil etc., grow on trees?
  And when we are done with the fuel, what then?
  The Nuclear option is by far the most cowardly choice.
  How dare we worship our light-bulb and darken the outlook for our children, and our children's children!
  The wind may die down, night will come, but as sure as eggs is eggs the wind will be back and the dawn will come.
  Which room in your house would you set aside for the storage of your spent batteries and all the equipment that they once powered?
