Magda, I am not very familiar with the pros or cons of arguments for nuclear power, but in the UK we are in the midst of a debate on the subject. The government (thanks to that old Bliar guy) argues that for a green future, nuke power is the essential choice above a combination of renewables and old power (coal, oil, gas etc).
It seems that a number of apparent Greeny scientists are increasingly in favour of nuke energy as the best of all possible evils to stem global warming before the world tips over the edge of no return (arguably, it seems, this event might have a time horizon of no more than 10 years).
Thoughts?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
