Barry Brook is a professor in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Adelaide. He is a strong advocate for nuclear power as a sustainable energy source, especially the Integral Fast Reactor. His most recent book is Why vs Why: Nuclear Power.
Tim Flannery is a professor at Macquarie University, and the chairman of the Copenhagen Climate Council, an international climate change awareness group. In 2006 he supported nuclear power as a possible solution for reducing Australia's carbon emissions, but in 2007 he changed his position and in May 2007 told a business gathering in Sydney that while nuclear energy does have a role elsewhere in the world, Australia's abundance of renewable resources rule out the need for nuclear power in the near term. He does however feel that Australia should and will have to supply its uranium to those other countries that do not have access to renewables like Australia does.
