Antinuclear

In doom laden economic climate for nuclear power, Australia’s pro nukes fight on

The outlook for the nuclear power industry becomes ever bleaker.  Why? Well as Bill Clinton famously stated “It’s the economy, stupid”.  Nuclear power just isn’t economic, as the industry itself knows better than anyone.

Still, Australia’s uranium/nuclear lobby presses on gallantly, Barry Brook keeps spruiking it. The Lowy Institute put on  apathetic panel last month.

And there’s the political party  “Australian Voters Party”.  No idea who is behind this, And I doubt that anyone voted for them. They were started, curiously, a very short time after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.  And they’re gung ho for nuclear power in Australia.   Fom their website

“The Party believes that a series of nuclear power plants should be built in regional areas across Australia away from the major cities.”
