A visibly angry Met Police boss Sir Mark Rowley grabbed a reporter's microphone and chucked it on the ground this morning when he was grilled about "two-tier policing". Erm, isn't that criminal damage?

A biomedical scientist who called her Portuguese neighbour a "Spanish whore" during a row over a fire alarm was cautioned by police for a hate crime and struck off. No wonder the cops have no time to solve burglaries.

England's seaside towns, like Southport, are microcosms of the country at large, where the magnificent infrastructure has been neglected to the point of decay and we barbarians live amongst its ruins, says Joanna Gray.

Conference on Irelands future energy needs.

category national | environment | event notice author Wednesday April 05, 2006 15:41author by admin ; ) Report this post to the editors

Focusing on nuclear

"Oil is running out, climate change is now recognised as a serious problem and the price of energy is rising. A pro-nuclear decision by the British government will impact on Ireland and our energy policies, while we ourselves need to establish a secure energy supply for the future. We must now hold the debate - is nuclear power part of our future?"

This and the following extracts are taken from http://www.iei.ie/Conference06/Ple1.htm
Engineers Ireland web site, this organization will be hosting a conference in Dublin to discuss the future (if any at this rate) of energy consumption and future sustainability in Ireland. While choosing to ignore the corrib issue, wind or hydro resources and the inherent failure of public transport to meet the needs of individuals and instead choosing to consider nuclear as a primary option for the future.

You can register to attend this conference at their website, its worth remembering that the primary byproduct of nuclear can be found in the form of depleted uranium in war torn venues across the globe in locations such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Iraq again...

This is one to watch: mentions of nuclear power as a solution to the energy crisis are becoming very common. I believe that public opinion is being softened up at the same time as public unease is mounting over oil dependency. It's going to cost £70 billion to decommission Sellafield over 70-80 years, a process that seems to involve simply moving radioactive material from one place to another- and nuclear fuel is still being bandied as our energy saviour? This needs to be made clear to government- nuclear power should not be on the agenda at all- £70 billion says it simply isn't economical.

Whoever wrote the healine to this message -board is continuing Indiamedia's unenviable reputation for carelessness with the inconvenient truth.

The conference in Dublin today will consider ALL energy-sources and resources, including renewables. All the companies which are in the renewable-energy sector in Ireland will be there. They will hardly be flogging nuclear power-plants.

Get a grip.
