Nuclear Power For Australia

The current Government and any future government will be challenged on in 2 major ways in relation to Nuclear Power if the current mind set is not changed.

The government structure and management is soley focused on money and getting it the easy way.

Our current Energy needs are solved by large companies, employing tens of thousands of people directly and indirectly, digging up coal, transporting it to power stations, burning it to make electricity and sending it down the line so it can be sold to the end consumer.

When you think about all the tax revenue the government get from this all these activities and suggest we go Solar or hot rocks and do away with this revenue? Where else is it going to come from? This is the short sighted view.

Security is the other main issue facing Australian Governments. You have to wonder what Australia really gets out its alliance with the US. Without it are we going to be invaded? Without it do we become a target fro China? I doubt it very much.

If we have nuclear power it leaves open the back door for weapons. A bit of insurance.

Without Australia having a goal or mission on what we want to be world events will shape us to another state of the US.

It is time for Australia to stand up on it's own and do what we do best. Be good neighbours and friends to other countries. Use our wealth and knowledge and ingenuity to become world leaders in developing long term solutions that work for us but can work in the developing world. We can have a massive export market for our renewable technologies and potentially replace all the tax revenue lost from mining.

Whatever the real reasons behind it i reckon it is money and being scared or threatened by others.
