The 1970's Lancaster Flexible Bag was a very good power technology but I
happen to know that someone in the British Department of Energy rewrote
a positive Scientific Review Summery to make it negative. By the time
the sabotage was detected the men responsible were representing British
nuclear fuels in the Caribbean. Funny thing was the Caribbeans had no
nuclear power systems! But it also lacked extradition treaties. ;-)
If you send somthing to a govenment department that has skeptics in it
make sure you hand a hard copy to the minister not a departmental lacky.
Word and PDF files can be made to say anything with a few hours of editing.
My source for the story was 1980's Habatat magazine. Then one of the
better environment journals.
