This could be bigger than Sellafield! According to the front page of Daily Ireland today the British government has not ruled out building a nuclear plant on the border. The British government has been asked to give a definitive answer on whether it intends building a nuclear power plant in the North. |

'For my part, I suspect that most of the hostility in Ireland to Sellafield is a combination of the environmentalist scare-mongering together with "green" politics of a more traditional sort, namely that if our wicked colonial overlords across the water are doing it, it must be immoral. After the Good Friday Agreement, this gives a rare opportunity for Brit-bashing while remaining politically respectable.

Nevertheless, the question remains to be answered: Given this safety-obsessed, nappies-within-nappies society that they've done so much to foster, why aren't Greenpeace being held to account for their publicity stunts, given that they're more dangerous than the nuclear power industry? Feel free to discuss among yourselves.'

Veronica McDermott has appeared in the Sunday business post in dec. and the sun indo last week defending nuclear power
neither paper mentioned that she is a BNFl rep in Ireland something easily found out by a wordsearch of her name.
in the sbp article she goes on about climate change then ridicules wind and praises nuclear explaining who is now planning on building new plants
i wrote a letter to the sbp - not printed and this weeks sun indo - will see if printed, highlighting the fact that germany is planning on phasing out its nclear programme by 2020, sweden is palnningon being fossil fuel free in 15 yrs without new nuc stations and that over 50000 people are employed in the wind industry in Denmark.
David Mcwilliams has now written two articles about the necessity of nuc stations in the future in ireland which ms mcdermott referred to in last weeks article
we could be net exporters of wind and undercut bnfl with proper investment. this would require a change in governement but if these guys are still in in five years we could seriously be looking at nucs when fuel prices have risen sharply
ms. mcdermott is trying to scare early without giving her full credentials; another article explains that she helped get a former press agent for Sellafield get elected for New Labour last May. this gov is easily lead by big business when in trouble e.g. incinerators when waste became an issue if ms mcdermott keeps pumping out this crap a ncu staton could be coming near you in the next ten years
