Why are we talking nuclear anyway. We have enormous reserves of natural gas in this country, the least offensive of the fossil fuels. Gas can be used as an energy source until renewable energy is well and truly established. But the Uranium lobbyists and Johnny H stand in the way of common sense.
It would also appear that we are flogging most of our gas to China. When the WA premier decided to put some of our gas in reserve for national use there was an outcry from the big end of town and their political allies. Sadly climate change and commonsense are at the mercy of political ideology and business interests.
