Here's a Surprise! British "Greens" Actually Show Concern for the Environment.
Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 09:42 AM by NNadir
New Statesman writer Mark Lynas, who published a 'coming out' piece on his new views on nuclear power last year, said the anti-nuclear campaigns of the past "will come to be seen as an enormous mistake for which the Earth's climate is now paying the price." He cited the case of Austria where coal-fired capacity was brought online after the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant was stopped from ever operating, despite being fully constructed.

Really? Opposing the world's largest, by far, source of climate change gas primary energy is an "enormous mistake?"

Could it be?

"Coming out?"

Like a matter of shame?

It is my long term considered opinion that all anti-nukes are, well, dumbells, but actually giving a shit about science is decidedly not something of which to be ashamed, but it is also true that there is no such thing as an anti-nuke who knows any science.

The anti-nuke movement has represented the greatest environmental disaster of the 20th century.

1. What?!?!?!?!
"".....Zwentendorf nuclear power plant was stopped from ever operating, despite being fully constructed""

You mean the Greens actually made the idiot nukers spend millions of dollars on a nuke plant that the nukers could never fire up? So the nukers wasted all their money?

Damn, and here I was thinking the Greens had no power to do anything, considering the state of the biosphere and all that.
