The sheeple motivated - Paul - 7 October 2012

Paul , I'm no eco hippy green thing, but to be honest I would rather live in a world with interupted power supplies than nuclear power. I woul;choose to live in a society where only schools and hospitals get uninterupted power, most Brits can and did adapt very quickly to the power cuts and blackouts cause by the socialists striking in the 70s. Modern technology means fridges and freezers will remain cold for up to 18 ours if power is disrupted, washing machines, bread makers, tvs, etc can all be set to work or record when the power comes back. wind and solar are unreliable I 100-% agree but I can and do picnick under our local turbines and the farmer grazes sheep right up to them. Nuclear is and never will be safe enough for me. Just my pennys worth.

Difficult one. I'm like most people I expect, I like to have access to the power but wouldnt want to live next door to a nuclear power station or to any of the associated waste facilities. Industry requires reliable power and no matter what we think about living in a more sustainable and low tech way, if big business and the general population require nuclear power then it then its going to happen no matter what we think.
The only option I can see is to do what BP did, move as far away from the risk as possible but still have access to the power generated and prep for the time when power isnt so reliable or is too expensive to use.
One thing is for sure, the private companies that are looking at building the new nuclear sites wont be doing so without rock solid profits being built into the contracts, and that means we all will be paying a damn sight more whatever energy is produced

The reason we moved back to Devon was primarily because this is HOME..where we both have our roots, but also because the prevailing wind from Hinckley Point is AWAY from Devon and we also have The Quantock Hills and Exmoor between us and it!

Dont trust nuclear power.
Could we not get prisinors to run on treadmills till rhey colapse. Creates a little electricity and they wouldnt be using electricty as they couldnt watch tv all day

Do not forget the gummint will go for the cheapest tender, that means short cuts every time, and of course if the children of the tax payer who will end up paying the double costs, IE dealing with the radioactive waste AND the hundreds of billions in decommisioning costs

I would never trust nuclear power as a long term energy source, for a number of years I had a military manual in my possession specificaly covering the effects of various yealds of a lot of the nuclear weaponry available during the 70's and 80's including predicted areas of destruction and contamination, effects of the different forms of radiation and the possible effects on the general population. I would far rather be without power than have a nuclear waste land.
Ironically it is worth reading up about Stephan Salter the father of wave power and how the funding for his project was pulled by the government of the time in favour of nuclear power.

The area around Hinckley point (Stogursey, Nether Stowey) is a well known cancer "hot spot", our doctor at the time was always getting that area doctors mail( same name) and it was all cancer results!
