Nuclear Power is Safe?

We have a guy here who is a passionate advocate of nuclear power as a solution to our energy needs, especially with oil prices soaring and the end of oil in sight. His name is Dr Edward Walsh, and he is, or was, president of the University of Limerick. He wants to see "a cluster" of nuclear power plants built here, in order to reach a stage comparable to France, where 80% of electricity is generated at nuclear plants. Dr Walsh says nuclear power plants are safe; more, he says nuclear plants are the safest way to generate electricity . Dr Walsh: please take a look at this: www.pixelpress.org . Now tell me nuclear is safe. Click the 'Chernobyl' link on the right to see a photo-reportage by Robert Knoth and Antoinette de Jong. It's not reassuring.

And Another Arrives: Lithuanian This Time

Hardly had finished the previous post when another sticker came through the letterbox. This one is yellow, shows hands and a baby as logo, and invokes 'people with physical disabilities', the victims of Chernobyl, and 'elderly people left behind with no families' as some you might 'want to help'. It doesn't actually claim that by leaving out your clothing you actually will help these categories of deserving people. It also gives a website, www.orphanhomecare.org, and a company reg number, 412080. The website is listed widely as a scam site, though it throws up just a 404 error and has been redirected to a Lithuanian site, www.vgn.remo.lt, where, if you poke about, you do find the same logo. The company number yields this information: HAND COLLECTION SERVICE LIMITED Key Company Details Registered Company Number 412080 Incorporated Date 06/12/2005 Registered Address UNIT 2 MONESTERY ROAD CLONDALKIN DUBLIN 22 Company Type SINGLE MEMBER PRIVATE COMPANY L...
