Green Initiative and Nuclear Power?

Today’s news from the business sector in Wales brings these two large items:

1)  There is a £8.3 million investment initiative which has been unveiled to develop new green technologies in Wales.

2)  Ynys Mon (The Isle of Anglesey) has been tagged as being the location for the next British nuclear power plant.

Some would applaud both announcements, others would find them to be contradictory – not on a carbon footprint basis, but upon a ethical “save the earth” basis.  What do you think?

Weigh in and share your thoughts.  Is this a quicker, more efficient way to diminish carbon output, or is it a quicker, more efficient path toward the continued proliferation of nuclear weapons?

Is it dependable?  Is it safe?  Do you like the combination or fear it?
