We are seemingly being bullied toward a Nuclear Power/Waste future...will the Liberal government of the future continue with this non-investment in Renewables only to tell us that there is no alternative to Nuclear Power: and therefore the worlds Nuclear waste.

I'm scared of them...Howard has tainted them: or does the barb truly belong in the Party of which Howard is at the helm?

That would be for the larger populations, tho!

It is a fact that the larger populations of the world are stuck whereas Australia is once again the lucky country and doesn't need to go down this path.

Cost involves more than money in most cases.

We have more desert per population than most and to not use it for power is an opportunity cost versus the creation of more Nuclear Waste.

Thousands of Reactors will have to be built and we do not have to dump this stuff in our pristine land because it was never our problem.

The opportunity to hold these Nuclear cowboys to account is priceless to our future children for generations to come. Not just Australias children, either.

They could simply dump it somewhere else but the voice of disapproval will be heard and we can proudly say, as Australians, we played our part.

Who knows what in the future but given todays climate of terrorism it would be best to buckle up...anything less is ripping off the future of mankind, IMHO.

Australia has this power and it should not be ill-spent.

We are in the fortunate position of being able to set up enough Solar to deliver significant amounts of power for our population bypassing the need to go Nuclear.

Others are not in that position and if they are then they probably should set up solar unless they are prepared to deal with the alternative which is Nuclear Waste.

We will not deal with other peoples Nuclear Waste.

It forces accountability.

It's an addiction and Nuclear Waste was never our problem. Should it have ever been used?

It's a scam because the producers of this waste never had a clue what to do with it and Johnny is not investing in Renewables to try and force us to bury this worldwide problem.

We are in the fortunate position of being able to set up enough Solar to deliver significant amounts of power for our population bypassing the need to go Nuclear.

What about at night time?

The only way to have other countries adopting nuclear without weapons proliferation is to take the waste back. I suspect the disposal problem is overstated.

So significant amounts of power are not needed during the day?

The second paragraph does not compute with me.
