More pressure for Turnbull The Age ANDREW DARBY, HOBARTOctober 14, 2009THE Rudd Government is pressuring Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull over climate change – ruling out nuclear power and calling for his view………………
Leading political figures including former NSW premier Bob Carr and Mr Turnbull advocate debate on the nuclear  topic.

But Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said his Government was against it. Australia would meet the greenhouse challenge by investment in carbon sequestration and solar energy, and setting renewable energy targets.

”We do not see a nuclear power plant as part of our response to our energy future. In the past [former prime minister John] Howard said he wanted to see nuclear power plants around Australia. What’s Mr Turnbull’s position? Mine’s very clear.”……..

Mr Turnbull, …………. described nuclear power as a ”zero emissions” power source.
