This is NOT good...

I read we had (in the UK) enough coal reserves for 300 years. Why not go back to this and put some people back in employment?

We have the ability to trap carbon now. I think I would rather be storing carbon than nuclear waste with a 20000yr expiry date.

the end

Try getting a nuclear power station built now in any western country......watch the people standing infront of bulldozers and the red tape.

So no more oil or nuclear....what next?

What Next

What next well it would be nice if all those inventions and patents that

the nastry greedy ROTHSCHILD`S AND ROCKEFELLER`S bought

be brought out to play but they wont

its seems that the oil guys again have a great opportunity to raise prices again when is enough is enough

2yrs ago 85p a litre now 145p now that is what you call market manipulation


read up on H.A.A.R..P developed by our very own British aerospace

read www.haarp.net here but scroll down to find the interesting stuff

Worrying times. Nuclear power is very useful but as we can see has obvious dangers. The oil companies have done their best to stifle innovation elsewhere. Not many options really.

The problem is: the technology itself was developed in 50s and the core structure never changed after. Unfortunately attempts to automate and computerize control system made operations cheaper and faster but dependence on the automated systems is to high. This is the main weak point! Power cuts, natural disasters, etc. and the system goes belly-up. In the first generation of reactors (btw, they were much more "dirty"), manual override was ways easier and cadmium rods could have been 'dropped' into the reactor by the operator simply turning the lever - rods down = reaction stops (well, in theory). Now it is much more complex.

If you are interested, you can read more about the technology on the WNA site, e.g. here
