KEY POINTS:
Another parliamentary inquiry in Canberra has come down on the side of a nuclear future for Australia, a newspaper there reported this morning.
The House of Representatives industry and resources committee is expected to conclude that nuclear power is the only means of substantially cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
The Australian newspaper said the report would show Australia had a moral responsibility to increase its supply of uranium globally in the face of climate change.
"To ensure Australia remains world-competitive, mining companies should be given a tax offset to encourage a new wave of uranium exploration, the cross-party inquiry has found," the paper said.
It said the report would find that nuclear power offered at least three economic advantages over coal and other energy sources.
