Re: Blair says new nuclear plants are essential (none / 1)

Energy is leaving the economic realm and going back into the political realm even in the US and the UK.

Also, policy is not incompatible with the market: it's called regulation. It's just that the neoliberal orthodoxy for the past couple of decades has been that the only way to have a market is to have no policy.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

Nor did I say policy is incompatible with the market. I only said there have been no policy in the (neoliberal) UK. Until now.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

The (neoliberal) UK believed that policy was incompatible with the market. We are in agreement on that.

There has been a policy, a policy to re-start nuclear when the time is ripe, at least since 2001.
