Re: I have been on about this since I was a teenager
The issue I feel here is one of emotions vs logic. On that basis, nuclear will lose as most people know little or nothing apart from the line nuclear = bad, encouraged by the Greens and other environmental groups.
As mentioned elsewhere, some countries have been persuaded to close down their nuclear plants only to have to replace them with much "dirtier" techonologies.
We (governments) need to start a program of education on the massive benefits of nuclear even with the associated detriments regarding waste disposal.
Or to put it simpler, do people want the lights to stay on into the future or not?
