"Yellowcake Shake" is a political song about leaving uranium in the ground where it belongs.
The song - written trumpet player, vocalist and activist David Rastrick - is a single from the album "Rise Up in Love" (available from CD Baby, iTunes etc or at David's gigs).
Yellowcake is high grade uranium ore - and mining it is a habit we've got to shake. Mining uranium for nuclear power and weapons is highly illogical and dangerous due to the contamination of groundwater and the genaral environment, and due to the ready availability of renewable energy.
Beyond Zero Emission's 2020 Stationary Energy Plan showed clearly that Australia can produce all of it's energy requirements from 100% Renewable Energy by 2020.
Yellowcake Shake was written on the night of the 2008 Western Australian (WA) state election when it looked like the state Liberal government would go ahead with it's plan to expand the uranium industry in WA. Voting Green in the next state (and federal) elections is a sure way to help keep WA nuclear free.
"Yellowcake Shake" is available via MP3 download from CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Napster... All funds from the CD Baby sales will go to the Anti-Nuclear Alliance of WA (ANAWA) to help keep WA nuclear free.
