"In 2009 I founded the Liberal Democrat group Say No to Trident
"As to nuclear power, previously I have taken pains to not to call for it's complete abolition as it is the generator of last resort. Recent tragic events in Japan has changed my mind however. The Fukushima plant was too big to fail but fail it did. If a similar disaster had struck Torness and the wind was in the wrong direction, I cannot even imagine the fate of Edinburgh and all points in between."
