What "tipping point" ? Be less unspecific, jump in - the swimming pool of drool, p|ss and bile here is very warm - water wings are available

I used to work in Sellafield where all of the UK waste is stored (and some foreign waste too - they had the idea they could "reprocess" it) and 3 of the UKs nuclear stations. I don't glow in the dark and I saw first hand the safety measures they implement and assuming they do that and pay I'd be happy.

Did you read the outcome of the Chernobyl event ? Animals, flora and even humans are living in the cleared area. Nature is actually doing very well mainy due to humans not being there to "control it". You can book a tour there now, go take a look. I plan too at some point.

"Cancer is mainly a disease of age... even if you live a healthy lifestyle and if nothing else gets you then eventually cancer will." - that was in a video I posted before. It is a proven statistic by a charity in the UK which aims to find a cure. Enjoy the snapper - lucky you, I'm allergic to most fish.

Could you provide the cost/benefit analysis for a windfarm please, using actual generation statistics, maintenance costs and realistic estimates of replacements ? Otherwise this is woo. Actually it really is bollocks.

Yep - there is, loads of problems. There are risks all over the place whether you decide to spend the day in bed or get up. Crossing the road is scarily dangerous. Flying is dire. Swimming is really bad. As for radiation, more people have had too much from medical treatments - so eat those apples and avoid the doc.

That is because various muppets confuse CO2 with "carbon" - the former is invisible the latter is dark and sooty (in people's imaginations). The "clean" refers to low CO2 which based on the amount of energy produced for the amount of CO2 emitted is, well, very clean - cleaner than a wind farm. And more reliable.

Seeing as you started it I have to ask, are you the full shilling, fully staffed in the loft, not a can short of a six pack or perhaps lights on but nobody home ?
Oxford university checked this and they said no. Are you a science denier ?
