Climate Change and the Nuclear Option

From ABC Radio National’s Late Night Live:

In his Quarterly Essay Ian Lowe, one of Australia’s leading commentators on science and the environment, writes: “Promoting nuclear power as the solution to climate change is like advocating smoking as a cure for obesity. That is, taking up the nuclear option will make it much more difficult to move to the sort of sustainable ecologically healthy future that should be our goal.”
