diver, and anyone with an IQ, come over to https://www.brightnewworld.org .Five bucks a month qualifies you to say you truly give a rats.

You could donate to Friends of the Earth at the same time but, honestly, something would have to give. http://www.foe.org.au/

Nuclear and renewables have their places, just not on the same grid.

".....just not on the same grid."

Actually, I shouldn't say that, SA being a case in point. Now that it's gone to the expense of so much renewables, all it needs is reliable thermal backup, be it in SA or a connected state. As renewables plant is retired, nuclear could fill the gap until SA is entirely weaned to the point it should have started from, given its natural assets.

Again, loud and clear, renewables plus storage won't cut 100%. Hope is not a plan. Anyone truly caring about the world our Oz grand-kids inherit should get on board nuclear. It's worked for 60 years in France and Russia. China and India are taking the path. We need to be a part of it if we are to do our share on emissions as a first world economy, as well as competing in the world economy.

As to those who think Australia must simply adapt to projected climate change, that would be by moving to Russia, Alaska, Greenland or Northern Canada. That is not a plan.
