Here are my thoughts on nuclear energy. It used to be thought so monumentally dangerous that nuclear powered ships were not allowed to come into our ports.
With all this talk of climate change and an increased number of natural disasters occurring, including earthquakes and tsunamis, I'm wondering why some people are now ignoring the nexus between earthquakes and nuclear reactors.
Perhaps some people have forgotten about the Chernobyl disaster. I remember it very well, and also the Chernobyl virus which destroyed my new computer (well named). I even wrote a poem called: "The Radiation Beaters." Here is an excerpt.
"Then on ANZAC DAY our computer was cruelly Chernobylled in the night
Killing our brand new motherboard and every newborn baby in its sight.
Almost nothing was left living after its complete irradiation
Only a lonely unblown fan survived in its boxed configuration."
"Our computer could have been Stoned, Anthraxed and also painfully struck down
By any one of 41,000 diseases which had spread across town.
If Melissa or Michelangelo had paid it a visit instead
The life blood of our equipment would still have been left permanently dead."
Yes, and we all know about what happens when these new wind farms are unblown, don't we? Think absolute darkness, and a raw dinner!
My advice is that "natural disasters" can also be artificially created to destroy whole suburbs to satisfy corporate interests, and possibly also to knock out the equivalent of The Pentagon in various countries. This is to say nothing of deliberate attempts to create "climate change pandemonium" right before elections.
Here's a good question for Julia Gillard: "How many times do our power costs needs to accelerate through the roof, before they leave the planet altogether?"
Maybe in future, the Dillard will get Larissa Waters (Environmental Lawyer and Greens Senator) to ask Huey to hold his bladder until everyone has paid a King's ransom for each and every shower of rain.
