"Early editions of Monday's British newspapers reported that Brown wanted at least eight new nuclear power stations to come on stream in Britain during the next 15 years.
Brown, who also attended the summit, said a "renaissance" of nuclear power was one of the key elements of the British government's oil replacement strategy."

Perhaps the editors think Brown on the front page won't sell papers!
Is it news anyway?
As is said they are mostly proposals that have been released piecemeal already.

Well It is very hard to report on a story that implies that the cost of liquid fuel will go uop, if your sponsors and advertising contracts are made up of the big Car manufacturers and oil giants. Here in Australia the term "Peak OIL" is now becoming ever present in our Organised media. (ABC,au, Like BBC) one thing I know for sure, (being an insider) is that MSNBC (General Electric) have been signing a lot of contracts for distribution over the last six months. Any media outlet that has one of these contracts, will never use the term "Peak OIL" or "GMO monsanto" See if MSNBC has crept into the Business section of your chosen News source, If so dump it.
