Opinion Polls
Nuclear power is the most unpopular source of energy in Europe, according to a new opinion poll conducted by the European Union. Only 20% of European citizens said they were in favour of nuclear energy, compared to 80% who favoured solar energy and 71% who favoured wind energy. Even coal, oil and gas were preferred to nuclear power.

Trident
Recently, the Prime Minister made the argument for keeping open the option of renewing the Trident nuclear weapons programme, while the Chancellor nodded and agreed to honour the cheques, which will start to be presented after he moves next door. Last week, the pattern was repeated. On Friday, the Prime Minister made an eloquent case on behalf of the armed forces for a higher share of public spending. He asked the nation to endorse a foreign policy that would require the use of military force in order to defend global and, therefore British, security.
