I made these two videos almost two years ago, in April 2009. I think most of it is still relevant and pertinent to the present debate on nuclear power, and to the choice facing the Scottish electorate on May 5th.
My view are not only unchanged, they have been reinforced several times over the two intervening years.
The only effective way for Scots to say no to both nuclear weapons and nuclear power is to vote SNP on May 5th.
Only the SNP can deliver these twin objectives in the context ultimately of an independent Scotland. The Tories and the Labour Party are totally committed to nuclear power, to nuclear weapons, to Trident , to WMDs and to the policy of nuclear deterrence. The LibDems are now an irrelevancy in the political debate, stripped of their credibility, their values and their consciences by the ConLib Coalition.
Vote SNP

Here is a good article from a leading environmentalist about the dangers of nuclear power.
ReplyDeleteI'm not that easily fooled, commentor - I had already read the Monbiot article, which unequivocally supports nuclear power in spite of Fukushima.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Monbiot had a great conversion from being anti-nuclear to being pro a couple of years ago, based on the book I referred to in one of my videos. He doesn't want to recant twice - bad for the principled image.
In effect, he makes my case that the nuclear protagonist's argument for 50 years has been "Yes, it all went wrong last year, and we tried to cover it up until we were shown up - but with new technology, etc. etc. it will be OK next year. Sorry about putting the world in danger last year - and all the years before!"
I note the anonymity of your profile, commentor - are you yet another nuclear PR shill?
