The Coalition is sending mixed messages on community consultation when it comes to nuclear power. If the community never has the authority to influence the outcome, is it actually “consultation”?
Kean has poured cold water on the Opposition’s nuclear power plan, pointing to experts who have said it doesn’t make economic sense and would take too long to implement.
Paul Keating has joined the debate on the Coalition’s nuclear policy saying “"Only the most wicked and cynical of individuals would foist such a blight on an earnest community like Australia,”
If a future Coalition government were to bring nuclear into the mix, energy costs for residential and especially industrial customers would likely increase.
The Coalition’s nuclear plan is an unwelcome proposal which will slow the energy transition and increase our dependence on gas – a surefire way to drive up energy bills.
Offshore wind power can play a starring role in Australia’s future energy mix. It sure beats nuclear and coal, offering advantages in scale, availability and proximity to both users and the grid.
Going nuclear in Australia would mean overcoming a set of almost impossible obstacles, from legal to financial, regulatory and workforce.
Peter Malinauskas joined the podcast to talk about AUKUS, bans on children under 14 accessing social media, restricting most political donations and Peter Duttons Nuclear announcement.
Opposition energy spokesman Ted O'Brien and the Coalition the 43% by 2030 is unachievable and see to be saying they would just ignore the target.
Joining us for the podcast Resources Minister Madeleine King pushes back against Coalition claims the green energy projects – developing green hydrogen and investment in processing critical minerals.
For decades, Australia has sold uranium – but said no to nuclear reactors. That’s set to change, whether in nuclear submarines or even in plans for power plants.
A Coalition government would drastically slash migration as its main way of freeing up more than 100,000 homes over five years, Opposition leader Peter Dutton has promised in his budget reply.
