More detail, Ken

Nuclear electricity is just more expensive - Opinion - theage.com.au

Kenneth Davidson in The Age, talking about nuclear power, makes this surprising comment:

Lovelock's Gaia theory, which treats the Earth as a kind of living organism, is as revolutionary as the Renaissance was 500 years ago when man displaced God at the centre of the world. It means that the survival of the Earth as a self-regulating ecosystem must take precedence over individual rights.

All hail Mother Gaia!

I think Ken should specify which "individual rights" he has in mind here.
