That money will go nowhere near paying to build any new plants or going into research, despite what they might say. Ultimately, it will go into paying for our debt and to line their pockets. The only way to make them put the money into the research and into building anything is to hit them where it hurts....at the vote. However, the Australian public has been too brainwashed by all the nonsense that went on about nuclear power and such during the 60's to the early 90's to be smart enough to see that we need to change. Too much sensationalist claptrap and scaremongering has made everyone jumpy and nervous and very few actually know anything about the subject. Enough to at least make a reasonably rational decision about it. But "nuclear politics" was never about rationality and logic.
