Tim Flannery used to favour nuclear power – NOT ANY MORE!
Valdis Dūnis to Nuclear Fuel Cycle Watch Australia 29 Aug 10
“Nuclear power is inappropriate for Australia and is also in decline globally,” he said.
“Forty years ago nuclear power provided about 17 per cent of global electricity generated. “Today that figure is about 10 per cent and … over the next six years around a quarter of all nuclear capacity in advanced economies will be shut down.”
He said nuclear and coal were not able to meet the changing demands of today’s energy market.
“What we need is a market fit for purpose where we can generate electricity to demand and that’s with clean energy with back up battery storage. That is the main source of new power plants globally, clean wind and solar and I recommend that council focus on that.”’

8.30 p.m TOTEM & ORE
Australia, 2019, Director & Producer: John Mandelberg, Executive Producer: Bozic Wongar,Actress and speaker: Ursula Yovich, documentary, with German subtitles, 97 min.
German premiereThe film begins in 1945 with the atomic annihilation of Hiroshima and ends with the Fukushima meltdown in 2011. It examines the aftermath of atomic bombs, nuclear weapons tests and the Fukushima reactor accident. Radioactive fallout from the British nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s at Emu Field and Maralinga in South Australia not only contaminated large parts of the Australian outback. Radioactive rain also reached cities like Adelaide. Above all, however, the Aborigines have suffered from this to this day.
“Totem & Ore” tells the historical tragedies and fears from the point of view of witnesses of the atomic bombing and atomic bomb tests. Indigenous people, activists, filmmakers, artists, actors, writers, composers, doctors and professors all have their say. Ursula Yovich, a Native American actress, appeals: “There must be no more place in the world for nuclear weapons!”
Totem & Ore received a special recognition from the 2022 International Uranium Film Festival
