Dirty Hydrogen Plan for Port of Hastings + Anti-Nuclear Issues

Wednesday, 9 February 2022 - 9:00am to 10:00am

There's trouble a-brewing in Hastings, where mere months after a successful campaign against AGL's liquefied natural gas project, dirty brown-coal hydrogen exports have crept in—and this time with no publicly available plans, no environmental effects statement, and no community consultation!

 Meg and Kevin kick off energy week interviewing Julia Stöckigt, campaigner with Save Westernport, about the potentially disastrous effects at every step of this dirty H2 project, and how the community is pushing back. 

 To find out more, check out Save Westernport, and the Western Port Peninsula Protection Council websites. 

 Later, we speak with Dave Sweeney, anti-nuclear campaigner with the ACF, to get the lowdown on what is happening with the cleanup of the Rio Tinto Ranger uranium mine in NT (spoiler alert: a good news story), the European Commission proposing nuclear and gas as energy sources for long-term climate change goals, and how the flooding of Kimba SA, Barngarla country, is yet another reflection of the inappropriateness of the area as a dump site for Australia's radioactive waste.

 We also say a (hopefully temporary) au revoir to host Meg Kimber while she takes a well-earned hiatus from radio broadcasting.
