Australia Needs to Just SAY NO to 25 Nuclear Reactors.

Seem's John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia bought Bush's push towards Nuclear hook line and sinker, and is pushing for 25 new Nuclear Reactors in Australia by the year 2050...he and his supposed staff of experts A) should take a much closer look at the issue, or B) are basing their personal recommendations on some personal enrichment scheme. I live within the ten mile circle of death for the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in Buchannon, New York...it's no picnic, not something I would wish on my own worse enemy. If John Howard wants, I'll be happy to tell him all about the 200,000 gallons of radioactively contaminated water that has leaked into the ground under the Indian Point plant. Share with him the contaminaton of the Hudson River, and the results from test wells that show levels of radiation TEN TIMES above safe drinking water levels. Australia, if you read this, DO NOT BE FOOLED by the false promise of CHEAP AFFORDABLE POWER...it is a LIE.

Australia is urged to lift restrictions on nuclear power plants

SYDNEY: A government commission has recommended lifting Australia's restrictions on nuclear energy and uranium mining, setting up a showdown between a government eager to develop new sources of income and energy and environmentalists who oppose the building of nuclear power plants.

Australia, which holds 40 percent of the world's uranium reserves, has no commercial nuclear power plants and strictly limits uranium mining.

The recommendations, issued by a panel commissioned by Prime Minister John Howard's government in June, asserted that easing curbs on the mining of uranium could reduce Australia's use of coal and lift revenues from uranium exports by $1.4 billion a year.

The commission advocated constructing 25 nuclear reactors to supply a third of Australia's electricity by 2050, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
