THINK ABOUT IT, ACT IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT??

Say NO to nuclear power

The Prime Minister, John Howard, is scheming up a major expansion of the nuclear industry in Australia and in June 2006 established a Nuclear Taskforce to look at the issues.

So far the only nuclear activity ruled out is building nuclear weapons. Everything else is on the table including:

more uranium mining;
selling uranium to developing countries for new nuclear power;
building domestic nuclear power plants;
enriching uranium in Australia;
reprocessing nuclear materials;
becoming part of a global nuclear fuel leasing consortium; and
hosting an international nuclear waste dump.

While the Prime Minister called for a ‘full-blooded debate’ unfortunately the process has been flawed right from the beginning.

Going nuclear is just too risky, too irresponsible, too expensive and can not deliver a solution to climate change.

The real solution to climate change is energy efficiency and renewable energy. Going nuclear is not the answer.

Thank you for demanding a safe, clean renewable energy future.
