The GNEP and the myth of ‘clean’ nuclear power

Christina Macpherson's websites & blogs

Could it be that the nuclear powers are in so deep that they just don’t know how to get out? Despite the cost, despite the mounting unsolved waste problem, despite the countries seeking nuclear weapons, the Big Powers forge on with the myths of “clean” “cheap”, “climate friendly” nuclear power.

From the statement of  Gordon Brown, and the US China joint statement (both quoted below) it looks as if the myths will continue to be perpetrated, and that even the  failed idea of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership might get a re-run.
