Then I suspect that Geothermal should be a viable source of power
I don't think there will be Nuclear power in Australia while I am on this mortal toil,but then I could cark it tomorrow
We should be putting more effort and Dollars into Alternative Fuels,but whilste we have the approach that we have now of mainly Dollars and cents clean energy is always going to be a Big struggle to compete with the big Polluters and and the Fossil fuel industry
