Oh dear, & here I thought this was going to be an expose on our little Julia's plan to get the spot light off her continual stuff ups.

It is certainly no mere fanciful than the others she's floated in the last few days, & probably a lot more fun, too.

Besides, it would result in a better class of boat people arriving on our door step in a few years time.

Tassy for heavens sake stop worrying about CO2, we need it. In a few years of the continual cooling we are now experiencing, they will be tearing down those ridiculous wind mills to build coal burning incinerators to generate as much CO2 as possible. This in the vain hope it will increase the global temperature, which it wont of course.

If you want to see what Greens policy will and is doing to Australia look at Tasmania. What a basket case and yet the Greens persist with their people hating policies.

"Renewable energy is the world's fastest growing energy sector. ". Yep, gotta love those incredible 'renuables'. Close to 1/2 a TRILLION invested in 2011/12 to produce approx ..........3% of the worlds electricity. Insane.

First I'm not lucky enough to be living in NSW...

Next those that are should think twice before allowing any additional radioactivy anywhere near them because of the health implications, France Germany and now the USA are starting to release data that does not look good! Germany has decided to shutter their reactors and everyone knows (hopefully) about the Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster at Fukushima THAT IS STILL SPEWING radioactive pollution!

Here is a great graphic that will help everyone visualize what is downwind of any of the US reactors! NRDC Nuclear Fallout Map: http://www.nrdc.org/nuclear/fallout/
Just click on a reactor and zoom in... (BTW: These are conservative fallout estimates).

Where will the US Government get the REST of the money if it happened at SORE (or a reactor where you live) next week, probably from Social Security and or Medicare? Where will people relocate to for how long, Las Vegas and or Yuma?

In reality, ALL those affected are doomed! Tens of thousands are still living in nuclear refugee camps in Japan and it has been over a year since their triple meltdowns which are BTW still sending radioactive pollution Globally!

Remember:

Solar (of all flavors) is far less costly and has no health problems and N☢ RISK!

NSW has the land mass to go Solar (of all flavors) in a big way and even become a Energy exporter all with taking any Nuclear Reactor RISKS...

Remember if Germany can go GREEN/ Solar (of all flavors) and has STARTED to phase out it's Nuclear reactors because they are too RISKY why should NSW even think about it, unless your Leaders are receiving some sort of Nuclear Payback*?

Here is the latest story on Nuclear reactor Health effects from the Los Angles Times (USA):

Check out the excellent Blog site by Paul Langley (AU), it is packed full of well researched information on all things nuclear:

DONT 'BE MISLEAD BY THOSE HOPING TO PROFIT FROM NUCLEAR ENERGY!
How would NSW pay for a Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster like Fukushima?

* http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Nuclear+payback

Those that support nuclear power because nuclear power somehow supports them; no matter what the health implications or other "costs" are for others.

I'm not lucky enough to live in NSW, but I wish they would let me...

Why not look instead at Germany, they are now going GREEN and NON Nuclear by decommissioning their nuclear reactors, if they can do it so can NSW
IF (and it is a BIG IF)
You start doing it ASAP, before China buys up* all the Copper, Silver, Gold and rare earths you need to do it with...

Think what that could mean to not only the NSW but the Planet...

Remember as the Earth's resources start "peaking out" (which many believe Oil, copper, coal and even silver have done) what NSW has in the Earth will become ever more valuable, why sell today what will be worth double or much more later?

*Read Red Alert for more on what delaying conversion to Solar will cost...
