"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

Good Nukes

by Lee

As so often happens, the Australian government just makes sense.

AUSTRALIANS risk higher electricity prices if the nation fails to embrace nuclear power and relies on low-emission coal technology.

In a new push to force the Labor Party to abandon its opposition to nuclear power, the Howard Government is preparing to warn consumers that the anti-nuclear stance could hit the family budget.
Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane has conceded that companies are unlikely to establish nuclear power plants until a bipartisan approach is offered.

You know why I like John Howard so much?  He has the free market approach that I like in the GOP, but doesn’t come with the fundamentalist Christianity and social authoritarianism.

It’s just too bad that John Howard can’t change his citizenship.

Speaking of pols it looks like Romney’s officially getting into this thing.

The aussies still have stupid gun laws.. i would probably have moved there in 95 if it haven’t been for those lame ass laws.

Now if we could get Nuke power in this country going .. like in Japan France and China....

Yeah, but when we try to do it the idiot tree huggers say it’ll hurt the field mice. In Japan and China field mice would be considered appetizers.
