Ok so I just don't get it re the Alternative Energy is a load of bollocks debate either.

Great big buckets of money can get thrown at the Oil Industry to toddle off looking for the black gooey stuff, Nukes are good good good so yeah lets give give them such dosh as well but wind and solar ? P**s of you bucking hippy, what would you know.

I know what you are saying Wind_Magic and you are probably correct but lets face it, if for no other reason than cost we did have to at least begin to wean ourselves off oil and it is happening but there is much more to do.

Anyway, I no longer care. Lets face it. In the next year or so Nuclear is going to get the big nod. No risk. Environmental safeguards ? Pshaw, we are in a recession we cain't afford no environmental safeguards.

What's more guess whose country has the world's largest known reserves of Uranium ? Think Waltzing Matilda babies, think funnel web spiders, think football meat pies kangaroos and Holden cars. Oh yes, we do. Us ! The former convicts one and all and I'm gonna get me out there and buy up some shares.

(Oh and to save anyone the trouble, yes I know that Nuclear Reactors in their latest incarnations are pretty damn safe. Sure it may not be a terribly sensible idea to build 'em on fault lines but that's just quibbling. No one however has yet come up with an answer to how we get rid if the waste. When they do let me know, till then bugger it, I'll make some moolah out of Uranium shares and let the rest of you worry about the future.)

Hypocritical ?

Darn tootin'.
