Currently, I'm focusing on energy - as the British government is currently deciding whether to focus on revving up nuclear to meet our energy needs moving forwards, or to go with something a bit less stupidly lethal and long term polluting.
So ... I see that you are opposed to oil and nuclear. I'm assuming that you are also opposed to coal as well, given its polluting nature.
Question ... what
currently existing and in use form of energy do you support? While I definitely support research alternative energy generation (although probably different reasons than you), we have to live in the real world. Until those new generation methods exist, we have to use those methods that
do exist.
On the topic of energy generation, I get very tired, very fast of protesters that always seem to be against every existing method of power generation. Opposing everything that exists gives the appearance (whether intended or not) of wanting to turn the clock back two or three hundred years.
Rather than protest against the "bad power", why not get involved in the research for developing "good power"? If the "good power" is good enough, it will defeat the "bad power" in the marketplace, both of ideas and of economics.
