Qld threatens laws against nuclear plants : Melbourne Indymedia

The Queensland Premier has joined other state leaders in threatening to introduce laws blocking nuclear power plants in the state.

Peter Beattie used State Parliament to make his case against nuclear power.

"It's crazy to suggest we need nuclear plants in a state that has some of the most plentiful coal supplies in the world," he said.

Mr Beattie says he is willing to introduce legislation to keep Queensland nuclear-free.

I strongly oppose any nuclear power use except for medical purposes, and please know, that 60% of the world need for that comes from a teeny tiny reactor in Canada. Therefore we have no need to build another one anywhere. like they are planning(attached here).

Also remember what happened like Chernobyl. Ten years after that tragedy, a doctor in Hiroshima did a research. He picked breast cancer as a sample and checked all the data in Japan, and found certain area up north of mainland Japan(Tohoku area), the rate of breast cancer jumped up high! Chernobyle was the only cause he could ever thinks of, i.e. it travels and contaminates surrounding areas.

Uranium enrichment process leaves some 90% of toxic waste called 'depleted' uranium which is not 'depleted' the danger at all. It is a radio active, heavy metal toxin that the US and UK have been using to cause cancer, leukemia, kidney and all sorts of other lethal diseases as well as horrific birth deformities. And its half life is 4.5 billion years meaning it keeps killing and contaminating forever.

Think well,

Worry about one parrot a year which doesn't fly that high to begtin with, or about human lives and future generations. And in W.A., their facility cannot cope to accept all the electricity the 'ugly' windmills are creating. It can produce plenty!

And we need to change the coal/power stations green!
Technology is there to reduce whatever their toxic exhaust, but costs money. And yet, it would cost LESS THAN 2 weeks spending of our military to fix problems of our hospitals!

Go figure!!

Two thousand years ago Hippocrates laid down the dictum "primum non nocere," or "first, do no harm", meaning it's a physician's moral duty to induce no harm or injury to the patient in the course of treatment.
