Nuclear - Wrong Answer

Some surveys have revealed that public speaking ranks higher than death as a phobia. If you want to make it in politics, you had better overcome that fear pretty fast! But even the most seasoned public speakers can have a rough time now and then: they stumble over a word, a joke falls flat, Greenpeace activists are in the rafters above them hanging banners against what they're saying...

This morning, British Prime Minister Tony Blair was forced to change the venue of his pro-nuclear speech thanks to some uninvited guests stealing his thunder. Blair was prepared to tout nuclear energy as the answer to climate change, despite it being costly, dangerous and a terrorist target.

Vote "no to nuclear" on BBC's Web site.

Check out CNN's coverage.
