I'd probably have to agree with you there muso. If we're going to make some real inroads into our CO2 footprint (as the statement goes), then nuclear energy might be the only realistic available option, for the time being at least. I'd like to hear your views on it in the environment section some time.

Garrett has given his approval for not only this new uranium mine in SA, but there are another two on the drawing board. Those who are connected to the uranium industry are now pushing for NP plants saying how ridiculous it is that we're exporting this resource, but not using it for ourselves and they claim the price per plant would only cost about $8 billion. Who are they kidding?

If Labor follows Howard's lead and puts NP stations back on the agenda - we'll know for sure we don't live in a "democracy", but I can see it happening because Howard before he left made sure we were signed up to the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).

Garrett did the Greens a favour obviously by flogging his useless self to the ALP.

I doubt if we'll see Nuclear power in Australia, and there are probably better solutions in Australia anyway, such as geothermal and even solar.

Other countries are not so lucky. If we're not going to use the Uranium ourselves, at least we shuld be supplying it to other countires that won't use it to produce nuclear weapons. We have very capable international groups of scrutineers (eg the CWC), and I've been scrutinised by them once or twice in the past in different roles LOL.

It's academic which country uses the Uranium for nuclear power. The atmosphere is common to us all.

EXACTLY.

As for selling it to other countries, how do we guarantee we are not selling it for use as weapons? we cant. Lets face it, which countries in the world do you trust not to turn it into bombs? I'd trust ourselves and New Zealand.
