A European Leftist for Nuclear Energy

With U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair leaving office today, I couldn't help but notice the following passage from a blog written by a Labor Party supporter from the U.K. about the political left and nuclear energy:

It is the duty of the left to protect the livelihoods and interests working people whether it be jobs at the local level or combating climate change on the world stage. Therefore the left must endorse nuclear power as the only sensible way forward whilst striving for increased investment in renewable energy.

Interesting.
