You haven't connected the power-consuming decisions by individuals to the amount of power being generated. Blackouts would have notable structural and political downsides.
Is this a reversed Precautionary Principle? Rather than "avoid an action because it might be dangerous", they're saying it would require becoming a leader in low-carbon technologies, or "avoid this action and take a different action despite not knowing how to do it".
we will only have 10,000 years until the waste we create today will be even approachable
So the UK is not approachable? Or how far do you think you live from one of the dozen nuclear sites in the UK? Someone is approaching within 10 miles of those sites.
From the article: "Research by the SDC suggests that even if the UK's existing nuclear capacity was doubled, it would only provide an 8% cut on CO2 emissions by 2035 (and nothing before 2010)."
So if the nuclear capacity was doubled, it would indeed cut CO2 emissions. What if it were quadrupled? Increased tenfold? (There are 12 operational reactor sites, each with multiple nuclear units)
So is it better to reduce CO2 emissions or not? Does the study mention how much radioactive material must be released by coal plants in order to equal the power which could be created by nuclear plants?
It's more entertaining for some of us to post non-anonymously. Readers from New Jersey might only get to see the odd discussion resulting from the anons being filtered out.
... and since you know about this new source of gold, make sure you sell before the price drops. Finding the right time is left as an exercise for the reader.

One-Hour Photo? What is that, a place where it takes an hour to select a digital camera?
Check your assumptions.

With this added nuclear power, CO2 emissions may be reduced 8% by 2035. And there is a forecast that the UK will exceed by 8% its 2010 goal.

Depends on the contract for the concert.
Don't point your phone at your computer screen, nobody wants this performance to end up on the Net.

Obviously they mentioned their being in Taiwan so you know where to take your fuel cells for refilling.
