UK to "get serious" About Renewable Energy

Bob Dobbs writes "Tomorrow the UK government will announce (observer.co.uk) it's going to "get serious" about renewable energy; in the bleakest look at global warming so far Tony Blair will warn that extreme weather will wreak £150 billion worth of damage across Europe within a decade and the current situation is "unsustainable". On the bright side, it's mentioned that sustainable energy sources are less susceptible to terrorist attack."

I would love it if we could get back on the nuclear energy bandwagon. If stored properly we could elimanate almost all pollution related to the production of energy. And if we can stop bickering over where to store the material we could start moving forward. Please see the following link for more reasons:

In the future if we can build a space elevator, we can even take nuclear waste into high orbit and then launch it out into the sun. :)

But what about those rich fellows who are making money off of oil?! What will they do when they won't be able to grab more money and power than they already have?! They'll be forced to live off of their vast savings that will last them and their families for a number of generations! Oh poor, poor oil executives!

Beware... megalomaniacs in power.
