I think we should stop pussyfooting around and get on with building nuclear power stations all over Oz to supply the huge amount of power necessary for desalination.
Its ridiculous this resitance to us becoming an extremely prosperous country. We are sitting on the worlds biggest deposit of uranium and that makes us in affect like equivalent of the middle east of nuclear power. lets stop stuffing around with this misquided aversion to nuclear power, which i am sure is promoted by the coal industry lol.
i mean tiny little countries like sweden has no problem with having reactors , and we have the giant outback to stick them in which is geologically the most stable land mass on earth. (just hope a giant meteorite doesnt hit them )
Modern reactors can be built a lot more safer than 50's 60's ones that are the examples of accidents in history, then with australia's amazing 36 000 klm of coast we will hit the jackpot, - i am normally a greenie in most ways - but i am sick of this backwards view holding us back from vast riches
forget windpower, geothermal and the rest thats all just a big wank, STOP STUFFING AROUND AND GET ON WITH IT!!!!!!
