Absurdity of nuclear waste importing as solution to south Australia’s economic problems

Peter Mahoney, 17 Oct 16  Nuclear’s”back end” problem (the “disposal” of its waste). The search was on quickly to find a patsy state – and they think they have found it, here. Moral, economic and jobs arguments have been released in a barrage of coercive pressure on the SA public, when all Jacobs and their employers really want is a quick fix to their financial problems. The renewable energy industry is likely to overtake nuclear power generation in a few short decades, but if SA goes down this path we will be left with a very long term problem that the nuclear companies won’t be around to help with. The incredibly long timescales and ridiculously speculative nature of the economic modelling make any relevance to SA’s current economic challenges absurd. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1021186047913052/
