A push by the Coalition to adopt nuclear energy will “fall dead” unless a broad consensus for support can be achieved, shadow energy minister Ted O’Brien says.
A push by the Coalition to adopt nuclear energy will “fall dead” unless a broad consensus for support can be achieved, newAs Liberal leader Peter Dutton and Nationals leader David Littleproud backed an examination of nuclear power, Mr O’Brien said while his immediate focus was the gas and energy crisis, his longer-term mission would be to build support for nuclear energy.
Mr Dutton, who has promised disgruntled conservatives that under his leadership there would be product differentiation with Labor, said on Monday nuclear power must be explored.“I’m not afraid to have a discussion on nuclear if we want to have legitimate emissions reductions, if we want to lower electricity prices, then that is exactly the path that [French] President [Emmanuel] Macron has embarked on, and Prime Minister [Boris] Johnson is talking about in the UK,” Mr Dutton said.
Of the respondents, 53 per cent agreed, 23 per cent disagreed and 24 per cent neither agreed nor disagreed.
