Nuclear embarrassment for Bowen as he joins Dubai climate circus

As Chris Bowen flies to the 28th big United Nations global warming conference he looks increasingly unhinged and irrational insisting nuclear power stay banned in Australia.

Sunshine has volunteered to have the reactor in their neighbourhood.Thumbs Up

Probably a safe move because they will be long dead by 2060 when it cranks out the first watt.

This nuclear nonsense from the right is just a filler till they can think of another culture war anti climate change strategy. 

Even they aren't stupid enough to think there are enough Sunny's in the world to dump their waste in their back yards for them. But then...

Australia will have it soon.
China will be flogging the plants to this government.
To wean their country off imported oil and gas, and in the hope of retiring dirty coal-fired power stations, China’s leaders have poured money into wind and solar energy. But they are also turning to one of the most sustainable forms of non-renewable power. Over the past decade China has added 37 nuclear reactors, for a total of 55, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, a un body. During that same period America, which leads the world with 93 reactors, added two.

French President’s power play on Aussie nuclear energy

Australia should lift its ban on nuclear energy says French President Emmanuel Macron, as dozens of countries sign up to triple their production of the carbon neutral power source by 2050.

Dont look now, an ABC report.....
And a burn by a labor government.

Conservation groups are demanding the federal environment minister step in to stop the prescribed burning of ancient peat swamps in southern Western Australia.

Key points:

  • Conservationists on WA's south coast have concerns over the burning of ancient peat swamp
  • The state burn took place over four days in October
  • The federal environment minister is seeking advice from the Environment Department.

The call to Tanya Plibersek comes after the state's Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) burnt swamps near Denmark fewer than two months after the area was listed as an endangered ecological community. 

Conservationist and scientist Catherine Spaggiari said a recent prescribed burn ignited in October and November torched an ancient peat swamp, 15 kilometres north-west of Denmark on the state's south coast. 

"The amount of destruction is a bit mind-blowing," she said.

Looking forward to the Coalition going full throttle for nuclear at the next election campaign. But I will have to stay alert because I completely missed all their nuclear sales pitch during the last one. And the one before that and the one before that and etc

See now, nobody cares about this stuff, just as you can see here, no one reacted or commented on this posting. Of course you tell someone a swamp got burned and its like, "uh so what its just a swamp its garbage isn't it." This is the problem with people who are environmentally illiterate. The truth is that these peat swamps are critical to our survival and provide important data for the health of this planet, but of course no one cares, everyone too busy drinking and having a good time being ignorant.

I didn’t realise that the reactors had to be built next to housesWink

Anyways, if you insist they are it may help with your nonsense about housing affordability Tongue

About the same time we see one of those 40 to 100 billion $ sub's Albo has harpooned the country with

Another softly, softly imitative - just like the Referendum proposal do's & don'ts. You know - get it ticked off in principal & work on the detail later LOLLOLLOL

  • today there are about 440 nuclear power reactors operating in 33 countries 
  • About 60 reactors are under construction across the world. A further 110 are planned.

How many “accidents” has there been. It’s not as if the papers are full of people being infected by these 440 reactors.

Surely technology has improved to a point where they are “full proof”

Hi folks - yet another submission needed - EPA this time - and this one's a doozy. Proposed clearing of 37.1 hectares of a Lot containing excellent quality Banksia woodland vegetation, threatened fauna habitat, and a conservation category wetland. It's open until 4th December
Lot 123 Mortimer Road Casuarina (Lot 123) is 45 hectares (ha) in size, and is proposed to be subdivided into two lots; one conservation lot of 7.9 hectares (ha) and a balance lot (37.1 ha) for residential development.
The site contains 32 trees assessed as potential breeding trees for Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo in reference to the definition in the referral guidelines (SEWPaC 2012). All of these trees contained potential nesting hollows or hollows forming. There is significant foraging habitat across the site.

Its not all bad - we get a couple of second hand versions in about 10 years time. The pommie hand me downs. Just enough to get the mouth watering for when the new ones come on stream in about 2050 ConfusedLOL

Is that full proof or fool proof?

What were these bureaucrats/public servants reasoning for burning the bogs? 



I don't ascribe to all these city flogs who say we should follow the aboriginal way of burning things in preparation for bushfire season. From day one I have been against it as it's just stupid, the ideology is madness to my way of thinking. Why would ancient indigenous people pre/controlled burn their bush-lands, to try and stop massive bush fires that were a danger to,... no communities as there was none back then ? We are doing controlled burns like indigenous did, to stop fire encroaching on houses and towns etc..?

My understanding is they may have lit small fires to encourage new growth in certain areas where they knew a certain food would grow, or used fire to send animals one direction then trap or spear them as the animals ran towards them. But I have a hard time believing they cruised around on foot doing controlled burns to stop bushfires from burning towns that did not exist, what would be the point of this ? mother nature would be making natural fires anyways, through lightning strikes and other natural ways.

Ha, yes fiddles! I've always thought exactly the same. They used fire as a tool when they observed what it did to the bush and the animals, as they moved in cycles from place to place within their oribit. SOME groups in certain places, anyway.

That's not to say that in modern times people in towns shouldn't clear the growth for fear of killing rare beetles etc (or whatever their reasoning is!)
