Today David Cameron concluded a deal with Nicolas Sarkozy to cooperate in the development of nuclear energy. The coalition said the agreement would create a number of commercial deals in the nuclear energy field, worth more than £500m and creating 1,500 UK jobs.
Sounds like very good news for the UK. In the BBC article on the story, here's how they run one of the segments:
It has no bearing to the preceding paragraph or the following one, and can't remember when the UK was last hit by a tsunami. I suppose we are lucky they didn't include anything about Chernobyl.
Contrasting this with an article today about a proposed windfarm in the Scilly Isles I didn't read anything about the inefficiency or unreliability of windfarms, which is far more likely to be of concern to residents there, or anything about the one that burst into flames following high winds.
It would be a vast improvement if the BBC were forced to operate using only wind energy, especially so if they had to do it as private company without licence fee funding.

The two governments will work together with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) "to strengthen international capability to react to nuclear emergencies and establish a joint framework for cooperation and exchanging good practice on civil nuclear security".
The move comes 11 months after a tsunami in Japan wrecked the nearby Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, leaking radioactive material into the air and sea.
UK and French public and private sector bodies in the civil nuclear power industry will also work more closely in a number of areas.
