TODAY. From France – a statement that symbolises the primacy of the nuclear industry over the environment

The plants, insects, the fish, the frogs, crabs, …… they don’t get a say in these decisions.
“we should rethink the temperature thresholds of rivers” – says the chief inspector of France’s nuclear safety authority.
In these simple, seemingly innocuous words, we get a clear look at what the powers that be in our modern world think is important, and what is not..
If the big boys decide to let hotter water into the rivers, and ruin the habitat of so many plants and animals – well, the people aren’t going to get a vote on this, and the other species sure don’t get a say.
Western culture has evolved from a world-view that Man is superior to all creation. And we’re still well and truly in that world view. Indigenous cultures might have a different view – but hell – they don’t matter, do they? After all, they’ve never invented anything really clever – like nuclear technology, with the power to kill us all.

I wish you did not have mining awareness plus, as a recommended site. They were protrump. They have turned into a conspiracy gossip site. They recommend radio free America which is an American Cia spook site. A triangulating, manipulative site
Thank you. Tina, I have deleted it. Many years ago, that site was firmly pro environment and anti-nuclear. I don’t know what has happened to it since then.
