Emmet Oliver in The Irish Times reports that just 20 years after the Chernobyl disaster, a group of scientists, businessmen and academics have set up the Republic’s first campaign group in favour of nuclear energy.
Nuclear power is against the law in Ireland, and they want to change that.

The nuclear proponents are at it again
The skies of Lebanon are burning
Paul Brady wrote this song in 1985, and it has come back to haunt us.
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning

The Courreges Zooop EV
I love the whole idea of electric cars. It makes so much sense. The Courreges Zooop EV is designed by two fashion designers, the famous husband and wife team of André and Coqueline Courrèges, and the thing is, it looks great, of course, but it also does 450k without a charge.

Human Family Tree: Shallow Roots
…all of us have ancestors of every color and creed. Every Palestinian suicide bomber has Jews in his past. Every Sunni Muslim in Iraq is descended from at least one Shiite. And every Klansman’s family has African roots.

In Ireland we could add that every Unionist is related to a Nationalist - and so [...]
