Nuclear, no solution to high oil prices.

www.peakoil.com - Bloomberg: Uranium May Reach $200 in Two Years

So, nuclear power will shield us from commodity price volatility? I think not.

No thanks for any more nuclear power plants, which are timebombs waiting to be detonated. Once detonated, the world as we know it will be finished once and for all; one plant going wrong can make the whole of the British Isle inhabitable. The risk is totally unjustifiable. Presumably thanks to the global warming pushed by those thugs pushing nuclear energy, we will no longer need a lot of energy anyway for heating, won't we? Then all we need to do is land fleets of passenger planes carrying millions of holidaymakers, and ban private sedans, while promoting public transport such as bus, railway service, etc. If global warming is genuine, then disband automotive industries first, rather than resorting to nuclear solution.

The global warming issue is a lie. Apparently, nuclear produces as much CO2 as gas combined heat and power because construction of the plants, extraction and processing and transport of uranium is so energy intensive. Plus the billions going into nuclear could be invested in energy efficiency and renewables. It also keeps us from the decentralised renewables and combined heat and power system that would provide proper benefits, relying on the wasteful national grid instead.
