Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy Australia is the Australian affiliate of Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy, a pro-nuclear power non-profit organisation claiming over 9,000 members in 60 countries. Australia has no nuclear power plants, but nuclear power in Australia was an issue in the 2007 elections. EFN-Australia refers to itself as a not-for-profit environmental association, registered as a political party. EFN-Australia was originally registered as Conservatives for Climate and Environment in early 2007. Its stated major objective is to achieve the strongest possible action on climate change:〔 1) by promoting acceptance of nuclear energy as a significant part of the solution to climate change; 2) by supporting all viable technologies for greenhouse gas abatement; 3) by pushing for ambitious emissions reduction targets and timelines, achieved by a strong carbon price signal; 4) by endorsing and promoting the election of candidates to the Senate, House of Representatives and/or State Parliaments; 5) by having a politically non-partisan agenda, welcoming positive action from all sides. ==History== Formerly, as Conservatives for Climate and Environment, the organisation was based on support for the economic policies of the governing Liberal and National parties, but with greater emphasis on the importance of climate change , and focused on environmental policies, which included the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol〔 and an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. A small-l liberal approach to social policy was stated, with their website condemning the treatment of Australian terrorism suspect David Hicks.〔 The party also supported greater protection for native forests and opposed the Gunns pulp mill in Tasmania,〔 which has the support of both major parties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
