"2) Protection from asteroids requires all of the resources of an advanced technological society -- the ecofanatics want us to return to our caves instead of continuing to progress.

That's an understatement, especially when you see stuff like this:

Greenpeace's UK Triumph
"A British court has handed a major defeat to pro-nuclear lobbyists by declaring that the process by which the Labour government planned to introduce ten new nuclear power plants was flawed and illegal.
The judicial review challenge mounted by Greenpeace UK is an unprecedented triumph against an autocratic and arrogant government that is well known to make decisions in private and then fakes a consultation process later.
“I think it’s the arrogance of this government. You know they make up their mind and even when they say they’re going to have a full public consultation - the exercise is just a sham,” John Sauven, Director of Greenpeace, told Off-Grid...

The challenge had centred on the process that led up to the publication of the government’s Energy Review Report last July. Alistair Darling, trade and industry secretary, told parliament, on the basis of the report, that nuclear power had to be part of Britain’s energy supply over the next 40 years.

Britain’s 23 nuclear power stations supply around 20 per cent of the country’s electricity. All but one is due to close by 2023. The Energy Review – published in July – stated that new nuclear power stations would make a “significant contribution” to meeting energy policy goals.

These idiots truely do want people to return to caves, and graze in the fields like cattle (even that would be regulated) if you add the ambitions of anti animal eating vegans to the mix.

So it's no more nuclear for the Brits. Yet, without fanfare, the natural gas export lines in the north sea have recently been reversed, making the big island a net importer of natural gas.
