Back nukes

The IPCC (‘Ministers to seek new advice on climate targets’, 9 October) seems to think the answer to catastrophic global warming is a combination of reafforestation and various renewable energy methods.

Why no mention of nuclear power, the one method of generating bulk electricity without damaging the climate (or the landscape and seascape)?

One hopes that the Scottish Government will get independent advice to the effect that allowing Scotland’s two nuclear power stations to be decommissioned without replacement is a foolish strategy, as is allowing the surface environment to be industrialised by wind farms.
