Also, if you’ve been following George Monbiot’s recent conversion to nuke cheerleader, here’s George from 2006:
* Thanks, But We Still Don’t Need It – “To start building a new generation of nuclear power stations before we know what to do with the waste produced by existing plants is grotesquely irresponsible. … If, as a result of slow leakage into the groundwater, radioactive materials from a burial site kill an average of only one person a year for one million years, those who made the decision to bury them will – through their infinitesimal and unrecorded impacts – be responsible for the deaths of a million people.”
So, Monbiot is “grotesquely irresponsible” and cheering on the death of a million people according to Monbiot. Strange days.
