Do you think the Oz is pro-nuclear? They seem to be giving a lot of space to one side of the debate, today’s little rant from Martin Ferguson being just one example.
I commented on the Oz but I will be surprised if the comment makes it thru the editorial filters. The problem with Martin’s “argument” is that he claims to be interested in a rational approach to the problem but is clearly blinkered by an obsession with base-load power. The fallacy of base-load power is clearly spelled out by Mark Diesendorf paper (amongst other). Using the base-load power argument to support a claim that we “must” embrace nuclear because “green power” isn’t viable isn’t rational. It also isn’t true.
