This is rather encouraging news from the environmentalist front ? although it should be tempered by the fact that James Lovelock’s call is being blanketly dismissed. I can’t agree with his premise, that global warming is “advancing so swiftly,” but he’s absolutely right that “fears about the safety of nuclear energy are irrational and exaggerated,” and environmentalists would be surprised how many people would “go green” if they found more such alternatives like nuclear power, which is an incredibly more efficient producer of power than coal, gas and oil-fired power stations.
