Every time I see the word "Boffin" in an " news article", I think to myself, "not real journalism."

Re: Careful with your evolution mumbo jumbo.
Actually, we evolved from great apes. Monkeys have tails. That should help you in the future. ;)
Also, survival of the fittest absolutely still exists, and human beings themselves have become the most prominent form of natural selection. Not only do our activities impact the evolution or extinction of the other species, but our own activities also impact our own evolution as we compete with one another.
Tho I don't agree with the notion that the rich are somehow automatically more "fit", there exists the reality that the rich are more likely to survive and pass on their genes. Think: Titanic.

Going Nuclear
Dispite some political pandering, nuclear power is moot. It is, it does, it will. We need it and there's no stopping it. We mostly use fossil fuels for now only because it's easier. And therein is the only real problem with nuclear power. You can't just turn the switch on or off like you can with other forms of energy. That and the safety costs make air pollution a more attractive investment. But you can hardly argue that fossil fuels or renewables are the answer to all our energy needs. Excluding the discovery of some new unexpected source of energy, nuclear power is here to stay... and grow.
