Before the election was announced John Howard commissioned a report into nuclear power headed by ex Telstra chief executive Ziggy Switkowski. The report concluded that 25 reactors could be built by 2050.
Considering that all our major trading partners use nuclear power (US, UK, France, China, India, Germany, Israel, Mexico)
why shouldn't Nuclear power be an option.
Australia' s greenhouse gas emmissions are the worst in the world per-capita and we have large supplies of uranium.
Shouldn't nuclear power be looked at as a stop gap until renewables can bring base load power into the grid at an acceptable price.
I accept waste, proliferation, water usage and public perception are against nuclear power.
Would you accept a nuclear plant in your neighbourhood?
