Dont let Tony fool you with his nuclear power alternative,check out the 2002 (I think)National Geographic and read the article on nuclear waste,it will make your hair stand on end,if I remember rightly america has about 700,000 litres ofliquid atomic waste it cant find a home for and 1000's of tons of other waste it has buried somewhere in the states.If we get nuclear power the next 1000 generations will be coping with this waste problem and god knows what the end result of contamination will be on us and wild life,4 legged chooks perhaps,or maybe we will find a solution.Russia and India also China have the same problem.Pray each day Tony I am sure the gods have an answer.god help us Remember the lord will rise up and save us from our dilemmas,poverty,over population ,disease and greed.
Well ?? we been waiting a looonnnng time and we humans of the intelligent species are still waiting we can only help ourselves,god said he helps those who help them selves (or does this only apply to CEO'S and banks hmmm).I should have called myself the mad ranter LOL
A Northern Territory senator says Australia should be seriously considering using nuclear energy as a power source.
The Country Liberal Party's Nigel Scullion has praised the new federal Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, for opening the nuclear discussion.
"If you're fair dinkum about dealing with the effects of climate change, then you can't put aside one of the major power sources of the future that is the cleanest power source available," Senator Scullion said.
"Now there are fundamentalists who will continue to remind us of Chernobyl and all those sort of things, but we've come an awful long way since then."
Meanwhile, an anti-nuclear group in Alice Springs says this week's change in the Liberal Party leadership makes it even more likely that a nuclear waste facility will be forced on the Territory.
The Beyond Nuclear Initiative has reiterated its calls for the Federal Government to fulfil its 2007 election promise to repeal the Radioactive Waste Management Act.
The group's Natalie Wasley says it is a year since a Senate Committee recommended the laws forcing a nuclear waste facility on the Territory be overturned.
"And this comes amidst an increased push by the Liberal Party to develop and expand the nuclear industry in Australia," she said.
"So we believe that if the nuclear waste dump in the Territory goes ahead, there'll be increasing pressure on those same communities to host an international high-level nuclear waste dump some time in the future."
