Surely we should just refuse to buy energy from this ‘Industry’ which insists it has the right to permanently condemn the planet to become a repository of the most dangerous chemical known to man. Perhaps there are enough people to do this to make a noticeable difference, but this does not detract from the fact that the government needs nuclear power to stay in power.

The argument that we need nuclear power is based on the assumption that we need a strong and integrated national and global authority to take responsibility, not only for policing the world against likely [read Islamic] threats, but for providing a secure and defensible energy source to power the global task force.

Apart from this assumption there is no other reason to adopt nuclear power because it is obviously highly dangerous, expensively wasteful and ecologically insensitive. However the masses seem to want to go with it because they want leadership which is ‘strong’, and nuclear, being so vulnerable to attack, necessitates a ‘strong’ government to make it practicable.

The coincidence of these two factors of power is an indication of the way that humanity endorses a globalised or standard model of identity as a way of creating a secure identity. If we are all the same then at least we ‘know’ what is going on. Coincidentally this knowledge also expresses the belief that humanity is fundamentally corrupt and so necessitates the police force. Tellingly this knowledge also expresses the subconscious tendency to negate anything personal, local, diverse and vital. Nuclear power epitomizes the standardizing mentality of those who wish to negate the particular identity of places and replace it with a standard concept of human culture which is white, clean and sterile.
