> In a typically opportunist way they evade the issue of nuclear power. Hi Paul C: Agreed. They were opposed to nuclear power before and they should be opposed to nuclear power today. The mentality used by the proponents of nuclear power in the past is precisely what has led to the environmental crisis of today: i.e. there was blithe indifference to the negative environmental consequences in the belief that over time there would be a 'technological fix' to the problems associated with nuclear power. In other words, there was a blind and optimistic belief in the prospects for new technologies: everything, they told themselves, will work out 'in the end'. Armed with such a belief and indifference to everything that does not translate into increased profitability, capital has launched us on a path which could very well end with the 'negation of the negation' (in this case, the annihilation of human life on this planet).
