This week, If You Love This Planet plays the last in a series saluting popular programs from 2008 and 2009, before we launch a whole new season of shows next week. Here is Dr. Caldicott’s July 6, 2009 interview with Dave Sweeney, one of the key voices in Australia educating people about the environmental and public health dangers of uranium mining. Sweeney works with the Australian Conservation Foundation, a 40-year-old organization that liases with the community, business and government to protect and sustain the Australian environment. In this interview with Dr Caldicott, Sweeney talks about the plans that are underway for a massive expansion of the uranium industry in Australia, and the push to build the first Australian nuclear power plants.
