Australian govt says NO to nuclear power

Greg Combet rejects Ziggy Switkowski call to nuclear powerSid Maher  The Australian,  August 04, 2011  “…. Asked about nuclear power on ABC radio in Sydney yesterday, Mr Combet said nuclear energy was “still a lot more expensive than any of the energy options we’ve got available to us”……

“And in particular in our country we’ve got tremendous resources available that will deliver us cheaper energy whether it be from more efficient generation from coal or conversion to natural gas-fired electricity,” he said.

“But also renewable energy sources will provide a much greater part of our electricity generation and they’ll all be much cheaper than nuclear.”
