    I'm really not fussed either way for Nuclear or Wind, but I do know that decommissioning wind farm will be a whole lot easier than Nuclear.

    I like wind turbines, and think they look elegant. They do make the horizon look less 'remote' but is anywhere really remote anymore?

    thorium suffers from not being part of a weapon ecosystem

    This is misleading spin from the nuclear lobby, desperate to prop up an industry that no one will invest in without massive government backing.

    Both Uranium 235 and Plutonium are produced in thorium reactors, both useful for weapons. Also produced are waste products with very long half-lives
