Nuclear Carbon Free NZ
Insurance companies will soon distance themselves from the very real effects of global warming and the huge costs involved, annual cyclone; storm; property; crop and flooding damage. Todays added demands on energy will even be greater than ever before with the now growing economies such as India and China. The Insurance companies know that alternative renewable energy sources will not be enough and have little immediate effect to slow down global warming, and the effects will soon bankrupt them, if they don't act now to protect themselves. Governments will have to carry the costs building and developing renewable alternative energy sources, others will continue to develop nuclear and fossil fuel Power Stations, to realistically meet their energy needs. Indonesia a close neighbour is already planning to build a Nuclear Power Station in 2010. New Zealand will be one of the only countries in the world that is able to be both nuclear free and carbon neutral. For this to happen New Zealand first needs to quickly faze out coal and gas powered Power Stations. and replace them with renewable energy sources. This will make New Zealand carbon neutral with long term benefits in carbon credits. If we act now, New Zealand could be both nuclear and carbon free in the future.
