    Chernobyl

    luckly for us our gov is against this type of power but if there is a change of gov and i feel it is a right wing party who will win. they have pledged to reinstate the neuclear thing and i see our counterparts in australia are talking about this type of power so it wont belong and we will be talking neuclear but the anti lobby is strong in nz so may be it wont come to that i feel one of the problems is the companeys advocating the change wants to get in on the action and cash in on it maybe i wont be here by then but my grand children and great grand children will face our follies that
