Old but still relevent.


No, old and irrelevant. Each one of these "points" is comprehensively
demolished each time it's put forward. But you're too dim to notice.


First claimed point "Nuclear is too expensive"

That's an easy one to test:

Electricity prices

Italy - Electricity domestic average 22p/kWh
UK - Electricity domestic average 15.5p/kWh
France - Electricity domestic average 14p/kWH

Nuclear Generation

Italy 0 TWH/pa
UK 62.1 TWH/pa
France 387.8 TWH/pa


Tch Much of the French nuclear plant is due for replacemant.
The we'll see the true cost.

Taxpayer subsidised, in debt, in danger of default.


Unlike domestic solar and windpower eh. Harold? Oh no, you're telling
pork pies, again, "renewables" are subsidised to the hilt and are the
most expensive form of electricity, ever. If you want to end up paying
50p/unit for electricity vote for "renewables".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear...Nuclear_safety


As ever links posted without comment, presumably to try to give the
impression that there is a nuclear safety and an economic problem with
nuclear. Using the source that it is created and edited by morons.

The first link says nothing bad about the economics of nuclear power in
France, so quite what you think is damning about it is a mystery.

The second link tries to cast FUD on nuclear but the truth is that
French nuclear incidents are notable by their absence. The ASN is simply
being hyper-cautious.

You might want to address the fact that coal fired power stations have
emitted more radioactive material than all of the nuclear power stations
in the world and all of the A-bomb tests in the world combined. But I
bet you won't.

I also bet you won't dare to comment on how much fossil fuel is used to
create photovoltaic panels.

In further confirmation that the so-called greens are lying ****bags the
"Alexis Rowell" article that you linked to was published in the
self-interest magazine that he edits, yet it is described as a "guest
publication". A bit of honesty would have helped, don't you think[1].



[1] Yes you don't.
