August 5th Hiroshima Remembered

 

Dear friends,

August 6th is the day in 1945 that the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The most awful day in the memory of mankind as far as I’m concerned.

Please do all you can to let politicians know that the Nuclear fuel cycle, from mining uranium, power generation, nuclear accidents and weaponry is the single most danger to life on Earth. Radioactivity is changing the course of natural evolution by causing mutations. Worried about swine flu?—mutations of viruses will occur more rapidly in a world with raised levels of radioactivity- be it blowin in the wind uranium dust, dumped waste or exploding bombs.

Remember Hiroshima.

 

Love and for our precious earth

This week has seen fresh calls by mining giant Rio Tinto for the government to invest in nuclear power, saying it’s the only way to address our energy needs into the future and that talk of developing renewable energy like wind power and geo-thermal creates a “false optimism”. Meanwhile in Adelaide, environmentalists have been hosting a forum to explain to an eager audience how Australia could be run entirely on renewables as soon as 2020. So who’s right? Beyond Zero Emissions is a not-for-profit, volunteer run organisation who aim to promote technologies that will reduce the impacts of climate change. Their Campaign Director, MATTHEW WRIGHT, is a key note speaker at the forum and he told The Wire what he thinks about Rio Tinto’s scepticism towards renewable energy.
