Wow!

NEI has spied the Guardian.

Bob Geldof demands more nuclear

Am I being too harsh on him to have never expected that in a million years? He always struck me as one of those cliched Hollywood/rock types.

Now the question is, will the BBC give full coverage to a gala pro-nuclear concert?

Things to do on a quiet Saturday morning

Four fuddites declare their undying devotion to Sizewell

This may be a subjective thing, but I would normally expect a party larger than 4 to have staged their antics before headlining it as a "protest". Still, this is a rather typical Beeb thing to do when they agree with the protestors (notice how they also give plenty of space for the Usual Suspects to deliver their opinions without a word from the other side).

This bit amused though as it shows the complete lack of logical thought by the Usual Suspects:

"We were lying across the road for 15 minutes fastened together before the
security guards came," said campaigner Mell Harrison, 36, of Bungay, Suffolk.
"We were 200 metres from the reactor, if that. If we can do it so can
terrorists. Imagine that. We didn't get inside the fence. But protesters have
done that before.


If terrorists basically comes to Sizewell to stand across the road, then I don't think we have anything to worry about. When will they learn that they're going to have to do better than that?

Good luck to British Energy. Some brand spanking new Generation III+ reactors will do us well. Scotland will also be needing the imports sooner or later anyway unless the Exalted One comes to his senses.
