Cameron Reilly of G'Day World talks about nuclear power in Australia

ByRod Adams

Australia is in the midst of a very public discussion about the possible use of nuclear power to ease its dependence on coal, which now provides approximately 85% of Australia’s electricity.

On the June 30, 2006 episode of The G’day World Podcast Cameron Reilly asked me many of the questions that have been posed by people that are either strongly against the idea or still uncertain. In my not so humble opinion, I think that the answers I provided are not bad. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
