I dont want to get into a debate about what or how Australians should power thier country but what serious / viable alternative is there to nuclear? The greenies dont want coal fired or nuclear and damming rivers (do you have enough water over there?) disrupts the ecology, wind kills birds and is an eyesore (I quite like them, they're hypnotic) and solar would need a huge area to produce the equivalent energy thus once again disrupting the ecosystem. Wave power is still in its infancy and is prone to malfunction due to salt and heavy seas.
In saying all of that I happily live off the grid with my own RAPS.
