miriam_eOh great! Australia looks like it will gear up uranium sales to become "the uranium quarry for the world". Morons!
Uranium makes the world even more unsafe and earns money for a very few ultra-rich people. It does very little for anybody else. Much better would be to resume our position near the forefront of research into alternative and renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
Nuclear power is just as non-renewable as petroleum. It is a limited resource.
We have been wrecking the atmosphere and climate for our children with carbon-dioxide from petroleum and coal. They are gonna really love us when we leave them with a whole lot of radioactive problems too. Our generation will go down in history as the biggest screw-ups of all time.
Nobody has yet worked out a truly safe way to store radioactive waste. Bear in mind that it never actually becomes safe. Its half-life of250,000 4.5 billion years means that it takes that long to become just half as deadly!! (Our Earth is between 4 and 5 billion years old.) This is a problem we can't just ignore.
Short sighted greed!
