I am tired of hearing the same line from the ALP about nuclear power stations in people’s back yard. With Abbott proposing nuclear power he need only say that he’d rather have a nuclear power station in his backyard than a coal fired power station, because coal stations emit more pollution – and i am not talking about carbon dioxide – and even more than solar and wind power, because they don’t provide 24/7 power to begin with. Simple.
…Liberal MP Dennis Jensen said Mr Abbott should consider the option as part of a new climate change policy.
“I think Australians are starting to realise nuclear is a clean, viable option.
“In terms of airborne emissions, there are none,” Dr Jensen said.
