Australians will accept nuclear power: Switkowski


The head of the Prime Minister's nuclear task force, Dr Ziggy Switkowski, has predicted that Australians will accept uranium enrichment and nuclear power generation as part of action to curb greenhouse emissions.
He has told a Sydney business lunch that he believes the Labor Party will take the first step by lifting policy bans on expanding uranium mining and exports.
"When the ALP have their national convention in April this year, the leadership have foreshadowed for some time that they will be revisiting the ALP objections to this with a view to reversing their position on this," he said.
"It may well be that this is the first aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle which sees bipartisan support for lifting restrictions on uranium mining in Australia."


I figured that this website was really interesting and contradicting. There is global warming issues on the site for the Northern Arctic Ocean in Canada, yet Australia in the South accepting the use of Nuclear Power.
