The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone believes there is an alternative to nuclear power

If you travel on the London underground, you may be seeing a lot more of nuclear waste over the next few weeks than you've been used to.

Twenty-five of our climate campaigners were arrested at 5.30pm, after spending two days occupying Didcot, Britain's dirtiest power station, succesfully cutting Co2 emissions by stopping coal from being fed into the facility. Their point? To show that there's cleaner, more efficient ways of generating energy - like decentralised energy.

The UK is not on track to reduce our contribution to climate change with CO2 emissions actually increasing in the last two years. Tony Blair has found himself in a vulnerable and unenviable position, desperately seeking a solution. The nuclear industry's lobbyists, equally desperate to revive their dying trade, have found rich pickings in the Prime Minister's situation. Blair seems to have frantically seized upon nuclear power as the default solution to climate change.

Can you imagine what it would be like to have your home torn down around you and destroyed? It's a horrible thought, but that's exactly what is happening in forests around the world. With an area of forest the size of a football pitch being destroyed every two seconds, endangered species such as gorillas, orang utans and chimpanzees are at risk of extinction within our lifetimes.
