Well that certainly doesn't sound like the lax standards assumed by protesters, does it? (Maybe they actually believe every plant really does have a Homer Simpson in charge of safety.

We also have plenty of protesters against the wind farms which have appeared in recent years. There's one a few miles down the coast from here.
They can't produce the old radiation stories, of course, so they have to fall back on "environmental and visual impact."
Our energy consumption is increasing at a rapid rate. They object to wind farms and they don't want nuclear power. Solar is being developed here, but let's face facts: In this country it's not going to supply more than a very small percentage of demand. We have hydro-electric schemes in Scotland and Wales, but most of England is too flat.
Back to burning up precious reserves of fossil fuels, I suppose. Even if we had the ability to construct a Dyson sphere right now, I'm sure there'd be protests about that!
