Do not be taken in by the lies in the pro nuclear Zero Carbon Option report

 This report emanates from  Australia’s top nuclear lobby group.   Their web titles are Decarbonise South Australia, and Brave New Climate.

Based in South Australia, and with Barry Brook as their prime spokesman, they pose as  Climate Change activist sites.  But , after you’ve got through all that worthy climate and renewable energy stuff – comes the real message – nuclear power for Australia (and the world)

Below some points from the Zero Carbon Options report.  Do not be taken in by these lies

“Capacity Factor: Renewables – 30%. Nuclear – 85%
>
>Job Creation: Renewables – 360 permanent jobs, 1300 jobs in construction.
>Nuclear – 520 permanent jobs, 1600 jobs in construction.
>
>Lifespan: Renewables – 25 years. Nuclear – 60 years.
>
>Cost: Renewables – $8.1 billion. Nuclear – $4.8 billion
>The Zero Carbon Options report, amongst other things, seriously questions why BZE ignores the option of nuclear power if their aim is to decarbonise Australia.

Some on the left also include the demand of “100% renewable energy” in their day to day campaigns. The Zero Carbon Options team, amongst others, have warned that relying on only one form of technology to produce zero carbon power is unwise, and could even be irresponsible. “ – Christina Macpherson 12 Dec 12,
