Antinuclear

Bad taste nuclear award goes to Ziggy Switkowski

On the anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, Australia’s top nuclear salesman, Ziggy Switkowski, comes out in praise of nuclear power as the only clean energy option.

I can only assume that this is yet another repeat of Ziggy’s ignorant and deceptive sales message. He usually completely ignores or dismisses any health risk from ‘low level’ ionising radiation, as well as risks of nuclear weapons, terrorism, nuclear wars.  And in general, Ziggy prefers to keep off the subject of nuclear wastes, and especially of the astronomic costs thereof.

But I can’t be sure.  Because I haven’t paid up to be permitted to read THE AUSTRALIAN – Australia’s Murdoch mouthpiece for the fossil fuel/nuclear industries.   And I don’t intend to pay up for Murdoch’s tripe, either.- Christina Macpherson

Ziggy Switkowski: There is only one clean energy option, THE AUSTRALIAN, 12 March 12
BY necessity, pragmatism will overcome fear when it comes to nuclear power.
