Fascinating insight pow4ade , however , not actually in touch with reality. I think you will find old farts are the demographic most in favor of nuclear power.
I am actually quite comfortable with it , and if there were a flock of French standard reactors around Australia , I would be all for continuing to use them. However , building new ones just doesn't stack up , especially when we would be starting from scratch. Still , I am perfectly happy for the Lib/Nats to make this the centrepiece of their policy at the next election . Of course , I wouldn't be , if I was a Liberal. Anybody got a map of large coal fired generators waiting to be shut down. So , the people living near and around them , at present dependent on mining coal , and working at the station, are looking at losing their jobs [ maybe , but by no means certain of getting one of the new ones] . And as 2nd prize having their house value bombing. I thought coal was fine ? Why would they be shutting down under the libs? ''Say it isn't so Peter''.
