Thought for the Day: 9 April 2014

When was the last time you heard an advocate for nuclear power or fracking attempt to gain the support of an environmentalist by making an argument along these lines?

“Climate change is a serious problem requiring urgent action; we need to pay any price to cut emissions. That includes carbon taxes and investment in renewables, along with strong efficiency regulation and tariffs to promote global compliance. Nuclear and fracking should be part of the mix.”
