“A recent study of nuclear energy usage in Canada and the USA”

Summary: Robert Parker’s talk will detail his recent research, concluding with an outline of the benefits he sees to rural and regional Australia from a programme of nuclear energy based on both some small and some larger plants as described in his photographs, interviews, etc. He will discuss his views on the benefits to community growth, stability and education and quote the findings of the UN and EU reports that recommend nuclear energy to be the most sustainable and low carbon energy source for the future. He also supports the belief that it eliminates the need to industrialise our landscapes and requires very few changes to our existing grid.
