That's the title of
an article in today's
Guardian, on the Comment
& Debate page, by John Vidal. But I can't
find a link to it on the Guardian website
so, because it is of such vital relevance
to the events in Japan right now and to the
future of this fragile planet, I've scanned
it and am posting it in its entirety below.
Please link, copy, quote
and disseminate it by whatever means you
use - blog, Tweet, FaceBook etc. to share
the things that really matter to you. The
internet is said to be the newest and most
effective instrument for people power: could
it generate enough people power to influence
the nuclear industry, and the decision-makers
who support it, to reconsider their short-term
and long-range plans?

I totally agree!
Rain, I'm glad you do, and many more thousands of us do too. Please copy the article to as many peopl as you can.
thanks for sharing this.
i just tried and googled the title, it now comes up as Guardian page:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/14/fukushima-nuclear-industry
Thanks Dorothee. I tried all sorts of things earlier and couldn't find it. I'm glad the link is there anyway and will add it to my post.
Absolutely. The clinching argument against nuclear power is not the scientific one but the human one. People build, run, organize, work in these places. People are fallible. End of argument, as I see it. Nuclear power is the height of hubris.
Dominic, that's it: the human argument is the one to listen to and act upon. Nothing else matters more.
