Bruce Sterling On Lovelock's Pro-Nuclear Stance

Posted by timothy on from the whistles-gunsmoke-and-tumbleweed dept.

Robert Berger writes "Bruce Sterling, author, journalist, editor, critic, blogger is also the creator of the Viridian Notes series of emails that comment on articles and websites about global warming. The current Viridian Note 00415: Doom is Nigh (scroll down past the inital links) has inserted his Sterling's pithy comments into Jame Lovelock's assertion that 'Nuclear power is the only green solution.'" (See also this earlier Slashdot post about Lovelock's nuclear apologia.)

    Actually, yes, yes I do. In fact I will cash in on this irrational fear by charging a certain amount per gram/per year and I will make Billions, I will be richer than Mr. Gates.

    Sure information wants to be free, but how much are you willing to pay for the packaging?

    In the US, decommissioning costs are included in the monthly bills to customers -- it's part of their day to day costs and much more accurately reflects the actual cost of nuclear power.

    Just because you Brits sucked at accounting doesn't mean that we all do.
