Worldwide, at the moment, the best case for nuclear energy (i.e. plants being built) is related to energy security.<br /><br />Would you anticipate the serious, near-term, say 15 years, consideration of nuclear energy in Australia (i.e. revision of current legislation) without a price on carbon or some similar environmentally based motivation?<br /><br />If so, I'd be Nuclear Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626325905460792450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451989601890385172.post-9263697367378131982011-02-28T02:21:47.375+11:002011-02-28T02:21:47.375+11:00That video is consistent with what I have understo...That video is consistent with what I have understood re Monckton's effusions.<br />But the nuclear industry doesnt need global warming to support its case. There are 60 nuclear power reactors now under active construction and two more undergoing complete rebuild in Canada. There are 150 more firmly planned, and likely to start construction within 3-4 years.

Unfortunately, the reply is too long for this comment field.

A lot of other corporations are Climate Sceptics, because they want to keep on making money out of polluting industries.<br />So - the nuclear lobby can't really count on their support.

He recently finished a three video series addressing several of Monckton's claims about climate science.
