Nuclear and Uranium Spinbuster – theme for June 2013
The facts on the global nuclear industry are not hard to discover, if you delve. Nuclear power has some sort of tenuous future wherever the government funds it, and wherever the country has not had experience of it. Nuclear power is dying a tortuous death wherever it is supposed to be a private enterprise business, and in countries that have experienced it. World Nuclear Industry Status Report maps nuclear power’s global decline
And of course, with dying nuclear power plants, dies the market for uranium Yellowcake Fever: Exposing the Uranium Industry’s Economic Myths,
There’s always a little, subterranean, push going on in Australia . People like John White (Australia Nuclear Fuel Leasing) Ron Walker and Robert Champion de Crespigny, (Australian Nuclear Energy) with $billion signs in their eyes quietly beavering away for Australia to become the world’s nuclear waste dump. Which is one reason why they all love the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor
and of course – spin it to Australians as a medical necessity
The nuke lobby spins to kids
The nuke lobby spins to all Australians, but especially Aborigines.
In the meantime, while awaiting the full nuclear fuel cycle in Australia, the nuclear/uranium lobby spins new little nuclear reactors
And of course, in view of the desperate plight of Australia’s uranium industry – it spins uranium mining.
And of course – in the spinner’s lexicon, words are all-important – the more confusing, the better. The theme is to show how lovely nuclear power is, and to discredit renewable energy.

Zoom webinar – “Nuclear Winter: The Environmental Consequences of a Nuclear Exchange.”
April 7th at 11:30 am PST / 2:30 pm EST
Nuclear Winter: The Environmental Consequences of a Nuclear Exchange”
Join us for an informative webinar with renowned atmospheric scientist, Professor Brian Toon, as he discusses the environmental risks and global impacts of a nuclear war. Despite the potential damage caused by the blast from even small nuclear weapons, many countries continue to invest in and expand nuclear arsenals. Professor Toon will provide a scientific assessment of civilian fatalities, agricultural failures, climate concerns, and complications with food supply that would follow any international nuclear conflict. We need to plan how to prevent nuclear conflict and avoid catastrophe. Politicians and military planners must be made aware of global climate and agricultural complications that would ensue. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from, and engage in, this vital conversation
The Road to War brings a sharp focus to why it is not in Australia’s best interest to be dragged into a war with China which will almost inevitably go nuclear very quickly. The filmmaker has interviewed some of Australia’s senior foreign policy analysts who have vast experience behind them in analysing what really is going on here as the United States rattles its sabres with China. And sets us up to be its proxy, like the poor Ukranians have been fed into the Meatgrinder. So America can remain the Top Dog. The Road to War reveals how the United States through its spy base at Pine Gap and by stationing six nuclear capable B52 bombers in the Top End (without permission from the traditional owners) is making Australia a prime nuclear target if the current war of words suddenly melts down into full scale war.
The Road to War shows the implicit connection between Carbon emissions (the US military uses a whopping 70% of America’s annual petroleum to move its armies and vast War Machine around the globe to its 800+ military bases..but under a loophole wangled at Kyoto, the US military does not have to report its C02 annual emissions). The Road to War starts screening at selected cities and regional centres in March. See the trailer end for details.
