The Risk Society and the Nuclear Jet

Professor Ulrich Beck, for "The Risk Society", has written an article about the implications of the recent thrust for nuclear power as a solution to climate change.

He uses a clever analogy of "the jet whose landing strip has not yet been built", to underscore the recklessness of the nuclear power bandwagon.

I thank the Whitman Institute's blog: http://think4change.org for first bringing this article to my attention.
