Jim,
 
We know about Lord Taverne from his remarkable speech recently in the House of Lords.

My sources, I should mention, are an article from Dr Jaworowski, a former chairman of the United Nations scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation, in a recent book of essays entitled Environment and Health; a paper on radiation hormesis by Professor Mortazavi from Kyoto University, which comprehensively reviews the scientific literature; and another comprehensive Canadian study by Jerry Cuttler on the beneficial effects of ionising radiation. There is a mass of papers that confirm that evidence.

Incidentally, I've been invited to give a short presentation tomorrow to a committee of the Ontario legislature at Queen's Park regarding Bill 100 - an act to Amend the Electricity Act of 1998.  I sent them my submission on Friday.  Stay tuned.

Jerry

Oil prices are at their highest for almost 20 years amid ever-increasing
concerns that the world faces an energy drought. At the same time, as a
signatory to the Kyoto Treaty, our Government is giving financial incentives
to those who want to cover the country with giant wind turbines.
