Atom1,

You don't see any pro globalisation rallies either, but it still marches on. The commencement of new reactors would tend to contradict this.

"It is noteworthy that in the 1980s, 218 power reactors started up, an average of one every 17 days. These included 47 in USA, 42 in France and 18 in Japan. The average power was 923.5 MWe. So it is not hard to imagine a similar number being commissioned in a decade after about 2015. But with China and India getting up to speed with nuclear energy and a world energy demand double the 1980 level in 2015, a realistic estimate of what is possible might be the equivalent of one 1000 MWe unit worldwide every 5 days"

Similarily, the old plants instead of being expensively decommissioned, are being upgraded with newer and bigger reactors.

The point I was trying to make is that with the call to reduce GHG, smaller countries will not be able to afford renewables and will have either the choice of coal or nuclear. Either the west can allow them to go it themselves and enrich the fuel with the obvious proliferation issues or sell them ready fuel and reprocessing.

Women of the world seem determined to lead the way to an unstable and ecologically sterile world. Whether it is global warming scare campaigns or a nuclear war or some new high-tech weapon yet unleashed won't matter. For women are hell-bent on the quest for ATTENTION, $LOVE, the holy grail of EASY STREET, all the children it takes so they don't have to have sex anymore and the enslavement of at least one of their children so they won't be LONELY in their dotage. They find the best weapon of choice is make-up & botox.

This sentiment of selfishness has been captured by polluticians, investors and MEdia as the way to grow economies. The Wall Street goons have only one question for Women:
"How can we make it so you have more children so there's more spending, and more economic growth so we can get back to serious BONUS & pussy times?"

Comes the whip-fast reply: "We have it under control. Just keep building weapons of WAR for you will need them. And aback, we await the smiley winners. For this is evolution and we the women of the world see no reason to change it no-way, till the seas are dead and the rivers run dry. EQUAL RIGHTS know-how!"
