Peter Garrett on nuclear power in Aus

If this is what passes for environmental debate in Australia, it's not just screwed, it's super-screwed.
My $0.02, taxpayer subsidies to protect the commons are exactly what a responsible government should consider with something as difficult as energy policy. It's a slippery slope towards back-handers but if we can seperate the Reserve Banks from the politicians, I don't see it as insurmountable.
