The head of the Australian energy market operator AEMO, Daniel Westerman, has rejected nuclear power as a way to replace Australia’s ageing coal-fired power stations, arguing that it is too slow and too expensive. In addition, baseload power sources are not competitive in a grid dominated by wind and solar energy anyway.

          How do you determine what is good or bad for the environment?

          The environment is just the result of many interactive factors. People need to reverse the perspective and ask is the environment good for us?
