In the name of climate change, the British government has become obsessed by nuclear power as the solution to future electricity generation. And yet, not long ago, nuclear power was unfashionable due to its downsides and, on the news this morning, it was said we are running out of sites to dump the waste and the sources of fuel are limited.
There are more exciting options available, such as micro generation and Combined Heat and Power, which are cheaper and can come on stream faster (I have not included wind power as it is too inefficient).
Why will the politicians not consider further alternatives?

Are nuclear airplanes a good solution to the “Global Warming” problem? Would you support such a plan to help save the planet?http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/en…
