Antinuclear

Nuclear hype, but nuclear future uncertain

Review, by Christina Macpherson. It’s been an interesting  week. Internationally –  two blatant lies are being taken up by prominent world leaders:

1. that developing nuclear power is an essential part of nuclear disarmament

2. that nuclear power is the solution to global warming.

Meanwhile, the global nuclear energy leader, AREVA, is in debt as “poster boy” new reactors in Finland and France continue to have troubles. Thousands of Russians protest against a new nuclear plant.

In Australia, Liberal party MP’s disagree on nuclear policy.  The nuclear lobbyist Ziggy Spinowsky is frantically busy pushing nuclear, (as uranium prices remain low). In W.A., BHP is gently “advised” to consider the Ngalia people’s views on uranium developments. Dust storms, with more predicted, raise fears of radon gas reaching millions of Australians and New Zealanders.
