Thanks for taking the trouble to post those links tsc - I've had a quick look at them and will come back to them to read more fully. My sense of gloom deepens.
I have the book "Gossip from the Forest" by Sarah Maitland, a lovely, unusual book.

Depends what you mean by "nuclear". Thorium reactors are looking quite promising, and in the longer term, sustainable fusion may yet prove to be our best source of energy. But yes, conventional fission reactors are an insanity.
I'm afraid I don't know anything about thorium reactors - need to inform myself further.
