PM hopeful, Peter Dutton, Australia’s opposition leader (who always likes a song and dance) has again dragged up the nuclear power alternative as an election issue. Going along is Richmond’s National Party candidate, Kimberly Hone, who’s advertised the fact that 29 first-world countries have all gone for nuclear power, but not Australia.
The implication is that something must be wrong, Australia.
Well, how about the obvious logic that maybe, just maybe, Australia got this one right for a change?
In a sunny country (worlds away from European and British madness and hopefully one day American madness) why would Australia not seek to use solar and green energy?
What Australia should stop doing (an economic bridge too far away) is continue to export coal to third-world countries to continue to pollute the atmosphere of the only home and planet we’ve got!
