The tiresome spin of the nuclear lobby in Australia
It used to be the pro-nuclear pronouncements of Dr Adi Paterson of ANSTO - going on about the wonderful small nuclear reactors (SMRs). He made a sudden departure from ANSTO - who knows why, but possibly because SMRs are turning out to b a flop, and a shocking waste of tax-payers' money.
But there have always been the spinners. You can't count the Liberal and National Party politicians. They are probably an embarrassment to the nuclear lobby, as they repeatedly demonstrate their ignorance of the issues.
I don't know who funds these sham charities, but they pop up all the time.
The latest is, of course "Nuclear for Australia", now posing as a charity, and running a petition. It was supposedly started by a 16 year old boy - in keeping with the current enthusiasm for nuclear as "young" "new" "clean" and "lively". But of course it is strongly backed by those youthful organisations - the World Nuclear association, the International Atomic Energy Agency - and a few somewhat less prestigious agencies.
