The world needs, and awaits, a reasonable and decent American Presidency, under Joe Biden
I am hopeful that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party will win this American election.
What has this got to do with this website, which is dedicated to issues of nuclear and cimate?
Everything!
That is because the human race has got to solve these global horrors – with reasonableness, decency and fairness. That demands thoughfulness, considerateness of others, co-operation, and global effort.
The United States of America used to be a global leader – up until recently, when it has been cursed with the presidency of a narcicisstic bully, Donald Trump. Four years of a government run by this sociopath have impeded the world’s effort to slow, preferably to stop, global heating. Trump has been a willing servant of the nuclear weapons industry , indeed an investor, profiting from it. He contines to foster distrust, hatred, and division among people.
I have not been a great fan of Joe Biden. But he does bring a decency and reasonableness to politics – qualities that are essential for America and the world to face the big problems. The Democratic Party does bring a mode of co-operation, and an intelligent respect for fair and legal processes.

Why this website will now focus more definitely on just NUCLEAR issues.
So much is happening – under the radar – in nuclear issues.
Although I recognise the huge importance of thr coronavirus pandemic, and of global heating (and Australia is the canary in the global cage), I have decided to restrict my posts from now on pretty much to nuclear news. (with the exception of climate/energy news from https://reneweconomy.com.au/ -and a few top climate articles)
Why? because many others are covering climate and clean energy issues so well.
But there is very little awareness of the nuclear global threat.
We are at a critical time regarding nuclear weapons – the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will soon come into force – already nuclear weapons do not have the ”respectability” that the nuclear nations claim that they have.
Then the ”peaceful” nuclear reactors come into question. The global industry is busting to establish ”small” nuclear reactors world-wide. Though they’re super-expensive, useless against climate change, unsafe, produce toxic wastes – they are the nuclear industry’s desperately needed salvation. The costs of weapons development can be hidden, and transferred to consumers and tax-payers via these new white elephants.
And Australia – with its scientifically ignorant politicians, and its media Murdochracy, is a sitting duck for the pro nuclear propaganda.
