Right Now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is an increasingly optimistic prospect that the proposed two
\nnew EDF nukiller plants at Sizewell<\/a> and Hinkley<\/a> may not be
\nbuilt.<\/p>\n

If Centrica be also be persuaded<\/a> to pull out of new build,
\nthen what we will have left are just the existing plants to close down within the UK.<\/p>\n

In to the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The real problem with campaigning about nukiller power is that
\nit involves some very long term thinking.<\/p>\n

Within 30 – 40 years Sizewell could be a island if sea levels
\ncontinue to rise as the result of global warming.<\/p>\n

While at Bradwell<\/a> the decommissioning process
\nwill not be completed until 2087.<\/p>\n

That is 75 years from now,
\nby which time all of the current anti-nukiller power activists will be dead.<\/p>\n

In to the centuries to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This says nothing about all the other long term problems <\/a>about
\nthe safe storage of nukiller waste which\u00a0 will pose major problems
\nin the centuries to come.<\/p>\n

In other words: –
\nWe not only need to think about short term campaign to stop new
\nbuild and closing down the existing nukiller plants,
\nbut make sure that what\u2019s left over at the plants does not become
\nan environmental danger in the years to come.<\/p>\n

This means we will all need to do some very long term thinking,
\nand that must also be a very different way of thinking.<\/p>\n

Gothic thinking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It all reminds me about those who built the Gothic cathedrals.<\/p>\n

They would plan and work upon them,
\nwhile also knowing that they would be long dead after the
\nbuildings were completed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very long term vision of a nukiller free world which we now
\nneed to start thinking upon.<\/p>\n

It’s a very long term campaign for us all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
