They run amok anyway, Marc, despite the Greens. All they can do is make some noise and hope people listen.
Most of the time, the average person wont do a thing unless it impinges upon their own home, their security (personal and family) and their bank balance. Outside of that, it might as well be in the next galaxy...out of sight, out of mind. But that's the problem, you can't ignore it.
It's probably the case that nuclear power will never gain a foothold here, simply because the Australian public have been conned into believing it's completely unsafe on all counts. What are you to believe when you've been led down the garden path by people with their own dubious agendas and who rely on being very selective with the facts. Then throw in some misinformation and sensationalism to spice things up. Much like snake oil salesmen or TV shopping marketeers.
