Why is the government dithering over a plastic bag charge in England? | Leo Hickman 24.1.2013 Guardian: Environment
Reducing plastic bag use is an easy environmental win for the government and yet it still delays its decision The world faces a panoply of daunting environmental challenges – climate change , deforestation , overfishing . The list is long. Each will require determined action and, most likely, international political agreement if they are to be overcome. This we already know. But, thankfully, some environmental problems are much more readily met. Greatly reducing the impact of single-use plastic bags is one such example. It is the very lowest of the hanging fruit and is being picked by a growing number of countries and cities around the world. So, why is England still dragging its feet? In June 2011, Richard Benyon , the environment minister, was asked in parliament "what consideration has he given to the merits of placing a requirement on businesses to charge for plastic carrier bags". Benyon responded : A range of measures to reduce the distribution of single use carrier bags ...

It's time to reprocess spent nuclear fuel 13.12.2012 MinnPost
Little noticed in the attention paid to Japan’s nuclear crisis at Fukushima is Japan’s plan to open its long-planned nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at Rokkasho in 2013. Japan would then join France as the world’s only large-scale processors of spent-nuclear-fuel waste from commercial nuclear power plants. This news has caused some major media news outlets to express the old fears that recovered plutonium in reprocessing could be captured by terrorists for use in a nuclear weapon. But that plutonium is not weapons grade and won’t work in a nuclear bomb. A major purpose for reprocessing, as France does at La Hague, is to both reuse the very valuable plutonium 239 (Pu 239) fuel and to recycle the uranium, thus extending the world’s nuclear fuel supplies. Reduce storage requirement The other important purpose is to greatly reduce the radioactive-spent-fuel storage requirement. Only the radioactive 5 percent fission products in those spent fuel capsules needs to be stored. The other 95 ...
