[10] In 2012, Manning facilitated the inclusion of nuclear industrial advocates Ben Heard and Barry Brook in the Copland Leadership Program he coordinated for CEDA's SA Branch.
[12] In 2011, Manning co-authored a chapter of the book "Australia's Uranium Trade: The Domestic and Foreign Policy Challenges of a Contentious Export".
He concluded his article with reference to the Breakthrough Institute and pro-nuclear environmentalism, stating his belief that "eco-modernism offers an epistemological justification for Generation 4 nuclear power, even placing it ‘on the moral high ground’ when framed within the context of climate change.
South Australia may yet play a key role in the journey to wean economies off fossil fuels and along the way arrest its own genteel decline.
Spokesperson Jim Green has criticised statements made by Manning in articles published in academic journals, on opinion websites and in Australian newspapers.
