Brown slams Howard's nuclear PR plan   
The Greens will go this year's federal election as Australia's 'nuclear-free' party, Greens Leader Bob Brown said in Sydney today
 
"Howard is for nuclear reactors.  Rudd is for open-slather uranium exports.  Both will face growing international pressure for Australia to become the world's nuclear waste dump.
 
"The Greens want Australia to be nuclear-free and leave the uranium in the ground.  Our policy is for Australia to lead the world in energy-efficiency, renewable energy, including solar and geothermal power and demand management.  This is where Germany's Christian Democrats are now leading the way," Senator Brown said.
 
"The Howard Government's plan to pour millions of dollars from taxpayers into advocating nuclear enrichment and nuclear power stations is corrupt, even if it is legal," Senator Brown said.
 
"And it is likely to backfire - Australians will not be taken in by nuclear because it is unnecessary and it is dangerous," Senator Brown said.
