She compared her experience so articulately when she said that they both wanted the same thing- “We both wanted out, or rather, a way back in [...]

One of our lovely GGG readers sent me the link to this video by Greenpeace: The Convenient Solution (please click this link for the video) As the UK government are beginning to introduce the idea of nuclear power again, this video discusses how this will not stop climate change.
