A Place to Stand

Orchestrated or not, the SEPA overreaction to the finding of a weak source of radioactivity at Dalgety, would appear to suit those intent on keeping any debate about nuclear power emotively charged and irrational. As the above article states those with a technophobic agenda see global warming as an excuse to hearken back to what they imagine were simpler purer times. With the world set to exceed seven billion humans soon ( if not already ) there is no going back that does not include huge human casualties and fatalities. Instead of trying to second guess where the climate is likely to shift, it would be much more prudent to make much of what we depend on less weather sensitive. Short term profit at the expense of the long term security should not be allowed to dominate markets. The only way I can see this happening is if large concentrations of financial power have increasing responsibilities placed upon them. They are the main beneficiaries of a stable world order so they should do the most to help that long term.
