It's a peculiarity of democracy that the most prolific polluters can
vote for the nuclear reactors to be erected at the furthest point from
which they can do the most good.

What would solve the emergency overnight is to have the reactors sited
in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle and
the other large cities. It would be an idea too, to open up all the
secret records about the way they were and are built and run.

emissions had not only dropped overnight but turned out to be healthful
all the while.
