And with 14 nuclear power stations providing 25% of our nations energy being shut down without any new ones being built I am sure that the greens are really, really happy as more and more fossil fuel will be burnt.
I recently sent Greenpeace an eMail about their 4x4 campaign as on their website they we encouraging people to download and print their poster. I pointed out the amount of trees that would be destroyed if 3 Million people downloaded and printed their posters. Came to about 3,000 I think and all they could say was it was a small Price to pay.
Grrrrrrr

If we used oil seed crops to fuel our 4x4's the carbon emmitted would only be what was taken from the envionment as the crop grows. As long as we continued to grow it you would effectively not be emmitting more than you were taking out in the first place.

True, and we get to keep our diesel engines at the same time. I still think though that since zero emission vehicles already exist it would be nice if they launched a few of them.

I don't think the government can afford this plan for too long. My guess is that we will certainly build more nuclear power stations in the near future as a short term way to halt climate change while we sort out the rest of the problems. This by the way, I strongly approve of.
C C:
Nuclear power is the only short-term solution. The sooner the government accepts this and starts building more power stations the better for us all.
