Nuclear power appears to make a lot of sense considering our large uranium reserves.
Australia is a big contributor of greenhouse gasses due to our reliance on brown coal. We also have more space than virtually anyone for the safe disposal of nuclear wastes.

If nuclear power makes sense anywhere on this planet, there wouldnt be many places more suited to it than Australia, except for the fact we have huge cheap reserves of dirty burning brown coal.

Did you know that solar photovoltiac cells have a break even point of 20 years to get back the energy used to manufacture them ?
