Origin Energy’s Grant King jumps on the pro nuclear bandwagon

Yesterday I noted that all at once, a number of ‘worthy’ business types have jumped on the pro nuclear  bandwagon, that Julie bishop and Tony Abbott set in motion.

I also noted that a forceful push for the nuclear industry can always be counted on, from South Australia. I repeat my graphic illustration of the South Australian push, here.

South-Aust-pro-nuke

The South Australian push provide arguments with varying levels of sophistication.

I recently switched from AGL to Powershop – all renewable AND cheaper.  I recommend that Origin Energy electricity customers do that same switch.
