Antinuclear

Asia, Middle East and nuclear power – theme for November 2013

The original and greatest nuclear power country – USA – now finds nuclear power costly and dangerous,  The imperative is to somehow make money out of this mess. The answer? – just as with asbestos and cigarettes – sell it off to Asia and the Middle East.  France and Russia join in the nuclear marketing frenzy – as does Japan, too (desperate to pretend that all is well at Fukushima.)

And why do Asian and Middle Eastern countries want this poisonous industry?   I can only suppose that, along with fashion, consumerism, cars, etc – everything Western is perhaps seen as ‘progress’.

And there’s that other factor, too. It would perhaps be nice to have the option of nuclear weapons.  If you want nuclear weapons, you must first have nuclear power.

And you might just think that  nuclear weapons might be a good idea.  (After all, would Iraq have been invaded if it had nuclear weapons?)
