We indeed have a backward looking government, A solar cell on every new building is a great idea and it was feasable even as far back as the eighties but no. The great men and women who infest parliament house holds sway to the lobby groups and money men.
Australia used to be tagged the 'clever country' but looking at something like nuclear power with out seriously exploring and investing in viable alternatives is a pretty doubtfull move (to put it lightly).
Having such a small population establishing nuclear power now would cause the price of electricity to rise dramatically, with minimal reduction on green house gasses and the problem of disposing the toxic waste (also very expensive).
I cannot see the advantages of setting up nuclear power in our country. Its a red herring.
