Hey Kevin we agree again.

France produces almost 80% of it power from nuclear stations.

Again its an area where the UK got in early and then let it slip. Now the NIMBY lobby steps in and stops any nuclear plans in their tracks. These people should be asked to live an electricity free life.

The only downside of nuclear is that some of the countries producing uranium are not so safe.

BTW my father worked for 20+ years in a nuclear plant and we Iived near one for the first 20 years of my life.

And those people who harp on about radiation should also stay out of the sunshine, not take any flights (above most of the protective atmosphere) and not live in areas of igneous rocks.
