Looks like the motorists who dominate this transport newsgroup might
have to switch to electric cars soon. Instead of poisoning people with
their tailpipe emissions at present they will instead be partly
responsible for poisoning people with radiation. All because they
crave a high personal energy consumption.

"Gordon Brown is to fast-track the building of at least eight nuclear
power stations to cut Britain's dependence on oil following the
dramatic rise in its price.

The Prime Minister will set "no upper limit" on the number of nuclear
plants that will be built by private companies. That would mean
nuclear, which provides about 20 per cent of Britain's electricity,
could meet a bigger share after the new generation of nuclear stations
come on stream over the next 15 years..."

"...The Prime Minister's growing enthusiasm for nuclear has provoked
controversy. Environmental groups believe that it is not safe and
would land taxpayers with a huge clean-up bill after the new plants
are decommissioned, pointing to the £73bn cost of phasing out the
existing 10 reactors. All except one of them – Sizewell B – will shut
down over the next 15 years..."

My car hasn't moved since last Wednesday so it hasn't consumed any energy.
Are you claiming to use less than that?
