			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite it being a complete fiction, it looks like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme" target="_blank">meme</a> of nuclear power being a ‘clean’ energy source is taking hold in the media. The latest news outlet to pass on the virus is <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-19/guangdong-nuclear-wins-state-approval-to-construct-two-reactors-in-guangxi.html" target="_blank">Bloomberg</a>…</p>
<blockquote><p><em>China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group Co., the nation’s  second-biggest builder of atomic plants, received state approval to  construct two reactors in the southern province of Guangxi to boost  supply of clean energy.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>…but you don’t have to look too hard to see <a href="http://bit.ly/bddgMq" target="_blank">how far the infection has spread</a>. When even <a href="http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-and-you/affect/nuclear.html" target="_blank">the US’s Environmental Protection Agency refers to nuclear power as ‘clean’</a> you can see how deeply the idea is entrenched.</p>
<p>How has this happened and why? Are the journalists writing these  pieces pro-nuclear and so smuggling their viewpoint (whether  subconsciously or not) into their copy? Or are the words ‘clean energy’  being copied and pasted from nuclear industry PR(opaganda)? We’d  genuinely like to know.</p>
