Australia's Construction Forestry Mining Energy Union thinks residents of Queensland would rather work in a coal mine than a nuclear power plant. The union's mining division has begun an advertising campaign featuring glum-looking miners and the slogan, "Nuclear power will kill the coal industry." It intends to persuade voters to support the Labor party, which opposes nuclear power and wants to invest $1.5 billion in 'clean coal'. There was no mention of potential opportunities in mining Queensland's uranium deposits.
