Nuclear Power.

The current crisis in Japan illuminates the fact that the introduction of Nuclear Power in Australia must be opposed at all costs. Some might argue that an environmental tragedy of the likes that occurred in Japan will never occur here, but this has nothing to do with the issue at hand. It simply goes to show that if anything goes wrong, we are, to use a scientific term, fucked. With deadly problems on our harsh land including dreadful bushfires, floods and cyclones (not forgetting the Newcastle Earthquake) anything could go wrong, and ruin the lives of millions. Notwithstanding the fact that the waste dumped would degenerate, sit in, and potentially rot parts of the beautiful island we call home as well as any future government most likely attempting to dump it on land held under native title. We must support new, clean energy sources such as wind, hydro and geothermal on the way to a coal-free, green Australia.
