We always try to see both sides of an argument and always listen to what each side is saying in any particular case, even if we strongly disagree. Therefore we subscribe to Greenpeace and other anti-nuclear groups to hear what they have to say and we always treat their points with an open mind as if we are wrong on something, we would rather know sooner than later!

Recently Greenpeace encouraged its supporters to put questions to the UK business secretary John Hutton regarding his stance on nuclear power and the future of Britain’s energy and his proposals to build new nuclear and coal-fired power stations.

We are at a critical junction as many uranium stocks prepare to test the lows made in August 2007. Some uranium stocks have already broken this support but we are waiting to see if other stocks follow suit. Therefore the majority of our stocks are marked “Hold” as we wait to see how events unfold.
