It’s getting harder, and more ridiculous, to separate nuclear issues from fossil fuel issues. Nuclear and coal power are really intertwined, indeed depending on each other, and both contributing to global warming. And now there’s the global oil corruption scandal, which really can’t be ignored. Australia is right in the thick of it.
