Update energy.md

[moeden]

It's my first ever edit on GitHub, so apologies if I've done it wrong, and massive thanks to OpenPolitics for making this project possible.

Nuclear power remains our best chance of a clean and green energy future. There is mountains of evidence on this... We need to see past the highly irrational anti-nuclear sentiment

[mikera]

I'd much rather see a strong commitment to nuclear as a way to phase out fossil fuels for baseload power generation. "Responsive to demand" isn't a good argument against nuclear... There will always be baseload requirements

Hi Mike,

We have different opinions about nuclear - nothing wrong with that. The
beauty about the Open Politics manifesto is that we can have any number of
energy views, and I presume (!) the most popular will be adopted.

Good luck with your vision.

Hi @moeden, thanks for the contribution, it's done just right! I'm personally pro-nuclear, and in fact would say that the blanket word "nuclear" is unhelpful as it covers a variety of different technologies. Some have the drawbacks you point out, and some don't, so I wouldn't want to include a blanket statement like this. I wonder if we could split this edit into two or three different ones, as it's changing a number of clauses, and it will be easier to vote on them separately. Would you be willing to have a go at that?

[moeden]

Thanks @Floppy, I'll do as you suggest. In fact, I'm hoping to put some considerable (!) time into this as energy is a personal and professional interest, so I'll make each 'point' a separate edit for ease of voting.

[Floppy]

That's perfect, just because people will vote different ways on different things.

Closing this in anticipation of the aforementioned separate PRs.
