I agree that wasn't the best example Woody but it was the first one I came up with. I'm sure I could find plenty more if I looked. The British nuclear industry has a poor record where safety is concerned & things don't get any better. If our own people try to hush these things up I can't see it being any different anywhere else. I doubt very much that other countries worry about us or anyone else. I'm sorry but I simply don't trust the way the whole industry is run or the people in charge.

Look around you right now.  How many things are made with plastic?  (can't think of any?  try YOUR COMPUTER).  None of these exist without petrol.  So what about your computer desk?  Well without mentioning the coating that makes it shinney, how would it get to your house without a big truck?

We are thuroughly screwed without our precious hydrocarbons.
