Click here, for a transcript of a news program hosted by Andrew Geoghegan of the ABC network in Australia that takes another look at nuclear energy. Here's a short excerpt:
Sounds like that might explain the current battle for control of WMC Resources, the nation's largest miner of Uranium.
ANDREW GEOGHEGAN: Hollywood's take on climate change may be simplistic, but it's refocused attention on the negative effects of burning fossil fuels. In the search for a clean and economically viable fuel alternative, even some environmentalists think the answer is nuclear power.
PROFESSOR JAMES LOVELOCK: I admit that nuclear has a few dangers, but they're trivial compared with the dangers of just letting global warming happen.
ANDREW GEOGHEGAN: Many governments must now rethink energy policy in light of the Kyoto protocol and the prospect of sustained higher oil prices. It's an opportunity that has uranium producers excited.
HARRY KENYON-SLANEY: We see the debate in the nuclear power industry and the interest in increasing the nuclear power usage around the world as very promising and positive, and I'm hopeful that it will lead to new uranium mines in due course in Australia.
Sounds like that might explain the current battle for control of WMC Resources, the nation's largest miner of Uranium.
