Following on from our earlier interview with Dr Ziggy Switkowski, we now turn to the other side of the nuclear power debate – reasons why it’s not a good idea for Australia.
National nuclear campaigner with Friends of the Earth, Jim Green’s argument is that energy efficiency and conservations measures can generate much greater reductions, much more quickly and at a tiny fraction of the cost of nuclear power.
Jim gave Peter his repsonse to Senator Joyce’s comments on why we sell uranium overseas, while pretending domestic nuclear energy is immoral…
As explained in this post here, here is part one of a loooong interview with the lovely Family of the Year. Listen to their sweet songs! In this part conversation mostly centers around food…
Vanessa: Does this work I wonder?
Me: Migration to Gmail!
Christina: Yayyyy
Vanessa: Pumping my fist in the air obviously
Me: Hurray! So how are you all?
Christina: Aside from hanging out with Vanessa, I’m great!
Vanessa: So good, we’re learning new songs and things. Thanks for waking up so early for us!
Christina: Yes thank you, that was very nice
Me: No worries! Have you all had your dinner? It’s nearly time for my breakfast, woop!
Christina: I had chef boyardee microwaveable spaghetti. Totally classy.
Vanessa: Do you guys have Jack In The Box over there? Across the pond, I mean? I had chicken strips.
Me: Jack In The Box? No.
Christina: It’s weird because me and Vanessa are typing and giggling at the same time and sitting next to each other
Vanessa: You should look into french toast sticks.
Me: Is it like KFC?
Vanessa: I looooove you!
Christina: We have a lot to impress you with here in the States.
Vanessa: Best french fries known to man! Or woman. I’m a feminist.
Christina: Mostly fast food, not talent.
Me: What’s your best fast food place?
Vanessa: I already love you for asking about fast food.
Christina: Jack in the Box is amazing. Sourdough Jacks are really imperative to our being. But Whoppers are also fab, from Burger King. We all got really quiet for that question because it was so important to us.
Vanessa: Chick filet. even though its a rare occurrence. Jack in the Box has the most variety. They’ve got like an Asian type, a Mexican, it’s like a small world afterall at Jack in the Box. Whoppers are overrated. What’s yours?
Me: Well… there’s this place I really love called Nando’s. They serve chicken. Like, all different types of chicken.
Vanessa: Please show me to Nando’s directly when I come there.
Me: It’s amazing.
Christina: Oh, I hear scotch eggs are really amazing by the way, and probably my #1 reason for wanting to visit the UK.
Me: Scotch eggs are ok.
Vanessa: I feel like the boys should answer this since they’re half Welsh. Half of the boys are half Welsh.
Christina: What! ok! An egg with meat surrounding it and deep fried!
Vanessa: Our band is a quarter Welsh. Or 1 /16 for that matter. Have you heard of Roscoes?
Me: No. It sounds like a biscuit. But we have different meanings for the word ‘biscuit’. Apparently.
Vanessa: It’s like soul food central station. Fried chicken and waffles and syrup on one platter.
Me: Sounds tasty.
Christina: We’re probably the worst humans to represent America at this moment. And usually it’s like, the President or us.
Vanessa: Or the worst humans to represent humans more like. Anyway, that aside…
