The Springfield Greenies

The Springfield Greenines are currently looking into the nuclear power issue to see whether it should be back in fashion in Australia.

.

My first guess is NO! But we will be back with more once we have had a look at the issues and stakeholders involved.

.

Why does the nuclear industry only see the 'good' of nuclear energy?

.

We all know (thanks to the Yin-Yang) that nuclear energy also has a 'bad' side (or shadow).

.

1. There is the problem of nuclear waste (much of which has a half-life of 4.6 billion years - which is a very long time!)

2. the problem of nuclear weapons and

3. the argument that nuclear energy is the answer to Global Warming is full of holes.

.

The Springfield Greenies will get back to you on this topic soon.
