“Coal is public enemy number one. The Green Party hasnt quite grasped that yet. Nevertheless, I am delighted to be able to say that there wont be another coal plant built in the UK. Unless of course UKIP gets into power,” said author, broadcaster and environmental activist Mark Lynas. Lynas made a fierce argument in defence of nuclear power, and attacked many of the mysteries that surround it. He explained that often the side effects of nuclear accidents are less significant than those of a normal lifestyle. “In Fukushima, they were petrified about the after effects of the meltdown but the radiation wasnt really the issue. Everyone smokes in Japan so people were sitting at home too frightened to go out. Smoking. That was the bigger issue,” he said.
