Although I have been an opponent of the nuclear power for yonks, in this particular case, pragmatically, I agree with her sentiments about continuing the use of them as opposed to going back to coal for obvious reasons. Cart before the horse and all that. The worry is that this just may create complacency about phasing out nuclear power in the long term. Weeding out should be done on a case by case basis, looking at the objective safety records for each plant.

Btw, I noticed that there are more *live* decarbonising of coal plants projects ongoing at the mo. Normally I would dismiss these as 'technofix' lala land if it was uttered by non-techies. But then, since we are talking about a lot of money involved in these, I do wonder how much corruption this entails. Don't know enough at the mo to make a judgement. Watch this space.

The Greens in Germany have been 'captured' by the hegemon. In a sense, this is also true for in the UK - the 'official' Greens, that is.

To a certain extent I can understand Christoforous's dismissal of the St Greta meme. She ain't Dalai Lama but is getting there. She obviously tripped on the warmongering part with Ukraine. Christoforou doesn't explain the details and places it in his haha compartment, which is something he does on his walkabouts. One reason for me not posting his vids. My main point in posting this particular vid was to highlight the clip with the speech in the beginning – and I don’t to video clipping.

I think Ritter is right. Let’s get rid of nuclear weapons first (at the same time as depleted uranium, cluster bombs .. shrinking the militaries etc.)
