PM Brown is talking of 1000 nuclear plants across Europe. France produces 80% and Britain wants to increase their capability. China takes all from Australia. When we get the plants running after ten years (we may take twenty), where is the guarantee there would be fuel and then, at what price? Uranium is only in two countries Australia & Canada. We may have or may not. At the end of the day, we still are dependent on others for energy and can be in a rude shock. Already, solar is starting to make waves. So we have the options, but we are barking up the wrong tree & wasting time.
We have to see the issue from national interests. That looks to be a pipe-dream.
