SAY NO TO A NUCLEAR AUSTRALIA
Get paid to produce power.
Now this is a good idea. The Clean Energy Council wants people who produce renewable power to be paid for the privellege. Fair's fair, I reckon. Why shouldn't they? If they care for the environment enough to invest in a clean source of power production, and can share their excess power with their community, why shouldn't they be able to recoup some of that investment? If a scheme such as this is approved, I'll predict a jump in the amount of solar cells sold in Australia. A lot more people will jump on the solar bandwagon as they see the possibility of getting a return for their trouble. I'll also predict a drop in the amount of power that we'll need to produce by means of coal burning. The increase in the production and supply of renewable power could easily account for a good deal of our home use, at the very least.While we're on this subject, I just want to have another word or two. It kind of annoys me that energy suppliers are currently charging an extra fee to supply renewable power to some consumers, simply by tagging it as a green choice. Then they try guilt-tripping the community into paying that extra fee without complaining. Hello power companies... renewable power costs a hell of a lot LESS to produce. Charging people more for a cheaper product usually ends up breeding a contempt in the community for that particular product. Is it no wonder that some people just don't want to consider this option?
Way to encourage a clean change, guys.

Do We Want This?
Here is a place where we
can discuss the current
nuclear power debate
in Australia.
A place to voice our
concerns and discuss
alternative sources.
The content of this blog
will periodically be sent
to our leaders in Canberra.
Please feel free to make
comment on the issues
raised for discussion here.
They need to know
just how we feel.
