The Green Party are fundamentally opposed to nuclear power because in their words it's dangerous because it carries "unacceptable risks".
If a political party is going to have an assumption as basically naive and flawed as this as one of its basic tenets, it's not getting my vote.
People (quite rightly) criticise UKIP for being vacuous and trying to win votes by playing the fear card, but the same must surely apply to the Greens, if they're going to go round scaremongering about the possibility of another Three Mile Island or Chernobyl happening?
It's nonsense.
