The pro nuclear Thoughts of new Foreign Minister Bob Carr
“Australia has a theological objection to nuclear power. It’s illogical but deeply entrenched. Still polls have been moving and younger people are more open-minded than those who come of age politically in the 1980s. It remains the only serious base-load alternative to incinerating more coal.
One should applaud every move in India and China to try nuclear plants..
You need two things.
One, a longer term education campaign by a coalition of pro-nuclear industry, science, union and indigenous groups . Second, a Lib-Lab consensus.
A fourth generation reactor, with its high level safety and minimal waste ..” Bob Carr http://bobcarrblog.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/the-nuclear-thing/
“Of course the O’Farrell Government is right to attempt legislation to permit uranium exploration in New South Wales. I said this two months ago. The Federal Government has expanded uranium mining and opened exports to India. South Australia boasts what will become the world’s largest uranium mine“.

I may be missing something but isn’t the reason NSW is in such dire financial mess because of Bob Carr’s legacy of poor or even culpable financial mis-management.
