Over to Geoff Russell to explain why the recent power crisis was so shambolic that it made national headlines. AUTHOR’S UPDATE: The article below was written before the failure of the backup diesel generator in Broken Hill. It turns out that while there are two, one was awaiting repair. Ouch.

Rooftop solar is a fantastic idea… if you don’t really care about the environment or climate change, or your neighbours, or the long-term affordability of power.

Decades of misinformation about everything from its safety to its waste had nuclear power all but written off in Australia. But as Geoff Russell notes, the fortunes of one of the world’s cleanest forms of energy production is on the up. A new multi-country opinion poll shows strong support for nuclear power.
