Nuclear power stations

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Next generation of nuclear reactors may be fast tracked.

"Uncertainties about the security of future gas supplies, especially after this month's crisis in Ukraine, have also helped to convince Tony Blair and senior figures at the Department for Trade and Industry that new nuclear power stations are needed."

Just what we need, rushed nuclear power stations.

i was just reading about Uranium mines, the biggest exporters are Canada, Australia the US and the Belgian Congo. We don't have any uranium mines in the UK so it's not like nuclear power stations are going to suddenly make us self sufficient like ministers are implying. If nuclear power is such a valid option as our governments want us to believe, and enough supplies are available from these mostly very stable countries why are they still all massive importers of oil?

Nuclear power is scary shit. I've got a feeling I'm gonna be protesting in some windswept location in the UK within the next ten years...
