For 50 years nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task and most of the cost of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.

Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity and a sign of death as well.
