I see everyone is quite rightly worried about the future, and the future for their kids. well have you considered Oz becoming a second or third world country/'banana republic' will do for your kids future and the future of the enviroment?
We need additional power stations to the existing conventional ones, and we cant afford (on an enviromental scale) to have any more coal fired ones than we already have or exceed our already quota (I think from memory that conventional power stations are responsible for 25%/30% of all our green house emissions now in this country)
Soooo whats left? cover the entire country every square inch - coast to coast in great big pretty whirly gigs will solve all our ills? gag, pleeeease!
(i dont think they would like as good to anyone if they had to live with them in their face 24/7/52/365)
We need additional ones to move ahead and remedy loss of rainfall, and create and encourage industries to fatten the coffers so we continue this great aussie lifestyle.
Or maybe you wanna trade in that monster 4WD for a pushbike and start reading the Dharma everyday while eating your lentil and turnip soup?
France (as I heard it) has some of/the? cheapest power in the world, and its nearly all nuke generated.
This burying our heads in the sand and pretending that some mysterious saviour of new renewable free and plentiful energy is a bit like waiting for the second coming! i am bored of waiting the saviour energy.
Funny how all the anti-nuke ppl can easily believe that this saviour is coming, but not believe the same minds cant come up with a way of safely disposing/nuetralising nuke waste, even before the famous 200 000 years is up!! weird!.
We wouldnt even be here if it wasnt for nuclear energy /radioactivity - well knownly - the very ingrediants we are made of came from the nuclear furnaces of supernovas, some many beneficial mutations in evolution we enjoy possibly come from dna molecules encounters with deadly cosmic rays ect. (spiderman comes to mind here) what about the sun do you find that handy or what? creating that nice big cosy bubble of solar radiation we live in that protects us from all sorts of other nasties!
