About Peter

I'm an Australian, based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States. I spend a lot of time there with Jasmine, Australia's best-known speedsolver of the Rubik's Cube. Prior to the US, Jasmine and I were based in London, UK. We have also lived previously in the United States and Australia.

I have worked for an Australian business rules and compliance company since 1999 in Australia, the US and the UK. I have also lectured in IT and Law related topics at King's College, London, and at The Australian National University.

I have some more information and a list of publications available (pop-up window).

The Australian energy debate... and let's all drive nuclear-powered cars!

David has interesting posts on his site about the Australian debates over wind and nuclear power (you may need to scroll down a little). I had never realised until very recently how controversial wind power is!

Meanwhile, I read last weekend that Ford worked on a nuclear-powered concept car, the Nucleon, in the 1950s. Wikipedia has a photo of the mock-up vehicle, and it is good to see the passenger compartment separated from the reactor for safety reasons... but you would spill a lot more than oil on the road if you had a serious accident!
