It is not widely known that deep within the bowels of the Federal Labor Government, an investigation has commenced for using uranium as a domestic future energy source.

“The Onshore Energy Security Program will deliver a wide range of new geoscientific datasets which will underpin an improved knowledge of Australia’s onshore energy resources, including uranium, petroleum, geothermal and thorium. This will be achieved via a series of integrated national and regional projects targeted where the maximum impact can be achieved. The Uranium Systems Project is one of the national projects within the Onshore Energy Security Program.
The primary purpose of the Uranium Systems Project is to provide advice to the Australian Government on Australia’s uranium resource potential as well as deliver new pre-competitive datasets and concepts to the minerals industry which will promote new search areas and reduce risk in the discovery of Australia’s uranium resources.”

Putting it simply, the Federal bureaucrats are ‘assessing the potential of uranium as one of Australia’s future energy sources’.

The Federal Labor government is seriously looking at nuclear energy as a possible means of ensuring Australia’s energy security over the long term. But why don’t they just come clean & admit it up front?

This is just another example of this current Federal Government saying one thing and doing another.

Most are well aware of their political campaigns against nuclear energy, attacking those that say we have to keep an open mind; yet quietly behind the scenes are doing all the home work required to prepare for a nuclear energy future in Australia!

Will this be the new “three more uranium mines” policy?
