This is a 47 minute talk (13 Meg mp3 format file) by Dr. David Fleming on nuclear power, from a presentation hosted by FEASTA, the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability, in Dublin Ireland., recorded on April 19th, 2006, in Ireland.

Fleming is an independent science writer. In this piece he does a very good lifecycle analysis of the nuclear power industry and dispels many of the myths that it could be a significant contributor to mitigating the impacts of Peak Oil.

In the pre-dawn hours of this morning it looked, for a while, as if the 52 day long "reclamation" of lands near Caledonia was being brought to an end as members of the Ontario Provincial Police staged a raid on the site and arrested many of the 6 Nations citizens participating in the action. But in a dramatic and surprising turn of events a second contingent of Native people came to the site following the initial raid, expelled the police, regained control of the encampment at the "Douglas Creek Estates" sub-division, and expanded it to include a blockade of Highway 6.
Audio and images from the site of the action recorded today follow:

The Hamilton Round Table on Poverty spent almost five hours making presentation to City Hall on Friday February 10th, but the whole morning's worth of words were summed up pretty succinctly by three speakers that "presented a face" to poverty. Gloria Wade is a mom who, after losing her son to multiple illnesses, turned advocate. She saw first hand how much was wrong with our social services. She saw first hand how the disabled don't have a voice. And she knows from personal experience that the income levels for those on Disability are so woefully under the poverty line that they actually cause more poverty and illness.
