# the photos
the official copy challenge is, 'We've all seen those annoying Green Britain Day posters with random celebs saying how green they are. And all brought to you by a company that's big, nuclear and owned by the French. Can you help improve Green Britain Day for them? And surely there's better inappropriate people to front it? Photoshop and do your worst. Image challenge sponsored by Ecotricity who are properly green and will supply the winner with free electricity for a year (up to £500).'

# yeh nuclear energy is hard to understand
and nuclear stuff can make cancer and flids so I'm much happier to focus on scaremongery regarding nuclear energy production and moan about how there should be more of the less-ecological alternatives.

# HAHA CHERNOBYL, GOOD ONE.
You mean the disaster caused by bureaucracy and incompetency rather than any flaw in nuclear power?

I'll happily go into detail about it.

# To that end, 3 Mile Island was cause by human error due to complacency.

# THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RETORT.
Sure, Chernobyl didn't exactly do much to aid the environment, but it's not a solid argument against nuclear power as a process. The key point is that the 1986 disaster lays entirely in the hands of poor decision making, rather than flaws in the concept of retrieving power from fission.

# The concept of retrieving power from fission is tried and tested and, properly handled, safe and efficient
...but human error will always exist and I'd rather humans weren't left in charge of fission reactors that could render the entire country a radioactive wasteland.

# I disagree. Human error is accepted and wasn't the only factor in Chernobyl at all. That whole fiasco could've been prevented 10 times over at various stages, but for various reasons was not.
