Can't brain. Has dumb.
Ok, as you should know, the recent APEC meeting (which bush confused with OPEC??) did discuss issues on climate change and how to combat global warming. Many leaders agreed that Nuclear power was the way to go for clean-and-green electricity in an attempt to combat global warming. Our prime minister, Helen Clarke, held up our view as New Zealanders that we do not want nuclear power here, and we do not want to jump on that bandwagon. In a One News poll, they asked people if we should combat global warming and if we should "go nuclear"
60% replied YES to combat global warming
80% said NO to nuclear energy.
Now, we aren't a large country, and we haven't got the huge amount of natural resources some other countries do. I'm not sure exactly where I'm heading with this, but I'd like to hear thoughts and/or opinions on the subject. (NOT the "is global warming really happening" debate!!!). What other options are there for us? Do we really NEED nuclear power to survive?
The power supply to my house is geothermal, so that's clean-and-green anyway. Before I lived here my power supply was hydro power.
What can we do?
