whiiiiine whiiinge complain- I have no viable solutions so I'll continue to pump out motherhood statements that mean little and will achieve nothing...but I'm against everything that could work

I have children and I am more concerned that head-in-the-clouds socialist hippies will do more damage to this country than uranium ever will

It is this rape and pillage attitude that causes blood for oil.

Constant war over resources mean we will inevitably meet our match.

It's time for a change of tack.

Exactly right Keithy - and the opportunities are here in Australia to do this. Hopefully if Rudd gets in the Greens could have some influence, so we can hope that they begin looking at a long term viable future.

IQ - Is that the best you can do - write misleading information and pretend it's mine. I don't believe you have kids, otherwise you'd care a bit more about their future.

By the way - uranium is a finite resource. It will come to an end in the next few decades - possibly less.

The uranium industry is a failing industry that requires billions of dollars to prop up. By the time those countries with NP are completely polluted with the by-products, uranium mining will be almost at an end. This is excluding the fact that a nuclear war will possibly be entered into eventually when a leader is finally insane enough to start an indiscriminate invasion.

Have the major parties thought beyond that? The Greens have.

As Freediver points out, you are more than capable of writing your own misleading information...in fact I'd say you are extremely experienced in it.

It's easy to disagree - but how about you both provide some information of consequence?

I've heard that there's possibly only 50 years, maybe less left in Australia. We are now increasing our export of uranium. The chances are by the time we have built 25 nuclear reactors, supplied to an increasing number of developing countries, we may have to import it ourselves to maintain these power stations.

If that isn't possible, we then have to dismantle these reactors at an enormous cost financially and environmentally.

Nuclear enrichment may seem like a great idea in the short term - but long term disposal, along with the waste from other countries, isn't creating a healthy future for Australia.

I don't think so mantra. You made the claim first. The onus is on you to back it up, especially as it seems so absurd. If I stated that the world was about to end it would not be a fact until you proved otherwise.

Whether we have enough uranium is hardly a petty issue. If the facts are nothing but an inconvenience then we might as well give up now. The worst thing you can do to someone is reinforce their ignorance.

According to you freediver - there are no facts - so you can't make a statement either way.

If you think uranium mining, building reactors, disposing of reactors, enriching uranium and disposing of the waste in this beautiful country is good - that's fine - you're entitled to your opinion.

But if you don't have the information to contradict me, then you don't have an argument, regardless of whether you believe I'm ignorant.

Quite frankly - I don't give a damn.
