The twentieth century way of life has been made available, largely due to the miracle of cheap energy. The price of energy has been at record lows for the past century and a half.As oil becomes increasingly scarce, it is becoming obvious to everyone, that the rapid economic and industrial growth we have enjoyed for that time is not sustainable.Now, the hunt is on. For renewable sources of energy, for alternative sources of energy, for a way of life that is less dependent on cheap energy. 

NSW challenges Liberals call for nuclear power

admin /1 July, 2007

NSW Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water, Philip Koperberg, challenged the State Opposition to renounce the Prime Minister’s plans for nuclear power during a speech to the NSW Parliament on 5 June 2007.

NSW Libs told to clarify nuke position: Koperberg said: "We are happy to provide the Leader of the Opposition with the opportunity to put his views on the public record in this House. We certainly eagerly await his response. This issue is of critical importance following the Prime Minister’s recent decisions and comments. Anyone who saw television news footage on Sunday night of the Leader of the Opposition applauding the Prime Minister is entitled to know whether his applause translates into support for this policy. Today is the chance for the Leader of the Opposition to disavow the people of New South Wales of any notion that the pictures of him clapping should be read as wholehearted support for nuclear power plants in New South Wales".
