Options for power from under the sea – WalesOnline

why make a fuss about nuclear contamination?
 WalesOnLine Western Mail – Dr JOHN ETHERINGTON Dec 20 2008

No matter which way you want to spin it ………………….. nuclear power carries with it a huge risk, a massive cost and a toxic legacy lasting thousands of years.

Even without counting the current £3bn a year bill for dealing with the waste, nuclear generation has always been the most expensive and heavily subsidised way of producing electricity…………………Germany where the renewable industry is now responsible for 14.2% of gross electricity consumption and supports huge economic benefits with employment in the sector doubling since 2004 to 249,000 jobs with predictions that it will provide up to 400,000 jobs by 2020.

The nuclear power industry is meanwhile doing a nice trade in red herrings and white elephants
