Nuclear power generation may or may not appeal to you but it appeals to the Labour government in England. So that's what we're getting (what Labour is getting in return is another question).
Intrinsic to nuclear power generation is nuclear waste disposal. There are two schools of thought:
Do not create nuclear waste (but this is not acceptable to the Labour government or to their nuclear power industry best friends).
If you have created nuclear waste, keep it close, and keep it monitored (this, too, is unacceptable to Labour and its nuclear supporters, for the vitrification of nuclear waste costs profits or even economic viability; and the public display of the other side of the nuclear power coin is bad for business, as well as causing local revolt).
The Third Way is to push it down holes in the ground, preferably where the locals cannot prevent this from being done. Then forget about it. The undesirable consequences - sickness, mutation, disability, death being the most immediate, but there is the over all problem of the blight of any geologically challenged location too - cannot be allowed to stay the march of Progress and Electrification.
It was planned to fill Scottish holes with anything and everything that glows in the dark for aeons. Scotland has developed another kind of power, so Labour can't.
If there are any holes near where you live, and if you are feeling powerless, move.

... fill the Albert Hall !
(& looking up, I noticed I was late)
Or there are those Cornish tin mines (aren't the rocks already radioactive in Cornwall anyway?)
Mr Salmond is looking forward to a good relationship with England 's new prime minister; I bet he is, after all Scotland has to be preserved from all and any harm from now on in, and largely at England's cost.
