Nuclear power “clean, inexpensive” says Northern Territory News
Any move from nuclear power …..would harm the NT’s uranium mining industry
Nuclear still power option NT News 18 March 11 Hopefully, there will not be a loss of faith in nuclear energy following the Japanese disaster. It is a clean, inexpensive form of power that could see mankind through until a reliable and efficient renewable source is developed. For all anybody knows, that could be 100 years…..
…..Any move from nuclear power to gas would harm the NT’s uranium mining industry but boost the gas industry.Indeed, experts already are saying Darwin’s $30 billion Inpex project now definitely will go ahead and at full speed.
The NT hopes for the best of both worlds, supplying an increasing amount of uranium to the world’s nuclear power industry and developing world-class gas operations in the Timor Sea….. Nuclear still power option | Opinion | NT News | Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia | ntnews.com.au

James Mason, Oh dear, oh dear! Of course I was kidding. I thought that readers of this page would ‘get it’.
I have been trying to show that, despite the nightmare of Japan’s nuclear emergency, the greedy forces of corporate Australia will still try and persuade us that the nuclear industry is good.
I was surprised that the Northern Territory News, usually a very responsible paper, should come out with that blatant stupidity, that the profits of uranium mining should be put ahead of people’s well being.
I shall be more careful, in future, to say what I really mean.

Anyway, thank you, James. I have now changed the small text picture at the top of this item, to more accurately express what I think about the item.

Apologies for my ignorance Christina,
I was unaware of your dry humour.
Being new to this site I didn’t know of you and thought that ‘the author’ of the article was as I incorrectly assumed (always dangerous), a PR person from the ‘Nuclear energy industry’ trying to justify the use of nuclear power in the face of the unfortunate devestation that has been demonstrated to the world …
A big sorry from me to you!

Thank you, James – you’re a gentleman and a scholar and so on
I felt a bit mean about the Northern Territory News. They normally do a great job.
I guess they have to pacify their local readership.
And – it is going to be a problem for those who work in the uranium industry.
In a decent world, the Australian public would support workers to switch to a clean job.
