The American pop idol Madonna is apparently lobbying the British government to use a "mystical" Cabbala fluid to clean up radioactive waste. The pop star is a keen follower of the Jewish spiritual movement which believes that water can receive magic healing powers through "meditations and the consciousness of sharing''. Together with her husband, the film director Guy Ritchie, Madonna approached prime minister Tony Blair's office, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) with the idea, the "Sunday Times" reports. It is understood she was promoting a water-based solution that had allegedly proved successful in neutralizing dangerous nuclear waste in Russia. Madonna reportedly said: "According to science, we are not going to have a planet in about 50 years at the rate we are going with nuclear waste. I can write the greatest songs and make the most fabulous films and be a fashion icon and conquer the world. If there isn't a world to conquer, what's the point? I have just come to a place in my life where I am trying to really see what the big picture is and where my energy is better spent."
