Antinuclear

This week – nuclear news, Australia and beyond

NUCLEAR. While the pandemic goes on, not much physically is happening. But on the lobbying scene, it’s at fever pitch. The target is the European Commission. The goal is to get the Commission to declare nuclear power as clean, green and sustainable in the European Taxonomy.  And then on to inclusion in the COP 26 Climate Summit in November, so that the nuclear industry can get the money that goes with that acceptance. Even more beneficial-  by saving this failing industry, they’ll be able to keep old reactors going for longer, thus avoiding the huge costs of demolishing them, and thus kicking that problem down the road, for our grandchildren to solve.Delay in climate change action helps, too, as nuclear power is depicted as ”transitional” from fossil fuels.

AUSTRALIA. 

•  Australia is part of Asia, and is unwise and unsafe in parroting the USA agression about China. 
•  Senator Matt Canavan – a chameleon of contradictions on coal and nuclear power. Sloppy and unconvincing pro nuclear propaganda from the Australian Nationals and the Murdochracy. 
•  News Corpse’s climate change shame. News Corpse’s new snide approach on climate change – to help Morrison win next election? 
•  Planned UK-Australia trade deal – a dangerous precedent for climate change policy. 
•  Environmentalists want independent review on plans for rocket launch from Eyre Peninsula. 
•   Small nuclear reactors – thin end of the nuclear wedge for Australia, as Australian Strategic Policy Institute pushes for submarines.
