In all those things, obstacles could be removed by research and

Has it not?

70 years since splitting the atom, and 50 years since the opening of the
world's first nuclear power station* nothing has changed. Nuclear is
still a highly risky and hideously expensive way of generating power,

3 "major" accidents in recorded history, two of which probably
produced no casualties and one of which was a direct result of a
political system rather popular with FoE members. I can see why you
think it is risky.

Friends of the Earth has every reason to have unshakeable confidence
that nothing has changed, or will change in our lifetimes.

FoE think windmills on the roofs of houses generate electricity.

Nuclear power is not the answer. If anyone thinks it is, they are
asking themselves the wrong question.

Or are a signed up member of FoE/Greenscreech and have traded
intelligence for religion.
