Nuclear Power

Wednesday, 6 May 2009

Nuclear Power has never been an option as a future energy source in my mind (on earth anyway - the sun is a different matter!)... If scientists have to create a new visual language to explain the danger of the waste because they don't believe that english will be spoken or even that civilisation will necessarily exist while the nuclear waste remains extremely hazardous into the future - that's when they should realise that it's a seriously bad idea. Even with the Generation IV and V 'environmentally friendly' concept reactors nuclear power is not renewable... Even without the waste issue we would be leading ourselves down the same path as oil... No. No nuclear in our future!

So I was prepared for some environmental backlash when I found out that I was being sent to the Lucas Heights reactor, a reactor that Greenpeace once stormed, especially from the more environmentally bent... Instead I had some surprising reactions... From 'I didn't know we had a nuclear reactor in Australia' to 'Don't bring home any green rocks'...

It seems to me that the issues surrounding nuclear power aren't as well known as I originally thought...

Come on Australia - get informed! Before our ignorance is used to push through nuclear reactors into your backyard...
