“We have no time to experiment with visionary energy sources: civilization
is in imminent danger and has to use nuclear energy now. We need a
portfolio of energy sources with nuclear power playing a major part.”

The Revenge of Gaia (pp14-15)
“It’s a question of balance. In so far as it’s a fossil fuel replacement,
nuclear power is certainly a consideration when making ethical
investments. Inevitably, however, the high risks associated with storage
always play a role in investors’ final decisions…”

“Giving the go-ahead today that new nuclear power should play a role
in providing the UK with clean, secure and affordable energy is in our
country’s vital long-term interest.”

“The government wants to build new nuclear power stations. If their plan
succeeds, it will be at the cost of blocking the real solutions to climate
change and a reliable future energy supply. It will also result in the
continued production of dangerous nuclear waste and an increased
risk from terrorism, radioactive accident and nuclear proliferation.”
