The 100 year government
27th March 2008 7:55AM, posted by david
I read John Hutton's, the business secretary, speech yesterday
For him the future is nuclear.
He has a 4 year job.
Maybe an 8 year job, if he is lucky.
But making decisions that you will not be responsible for is a pretty good work -if you can get it.
He won't be the one holding the glowing can in a hundred years time
He won't be the one working out where to put all the ever growing waste.
(Is wrapping it up in concrete really a long term answer?)
He won't be picking up the bill to moth ball power stations when they come to the end of their days
He won't be swimming in the polluted seas in years to come.
He won't be the one looking at the true cost in a 100 years, in 200 years, in 300 years time.
Politics is short term.
Planets are long term.
