Peter Dutton ’s much-hyped nuclear energy policy has proven radioactive among Labor premiers, who have universally lashed the proposal. NSW Premier Chris Minns said his state’s nuclear prohibition would not be removed under his watch and suggested the proposal would stymie investment in solar and wind. “We’ve got $30-odd billion of private capital invested in renewable energy,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
“Nuclear is hugely expensive - Peter Dutton is talking about massive taxpayer subsidies of billions of dollars will go on and on and on.” SA Premier Peter Malinauskas said Dutton should tell the nation how much the seven power stations would cost to build. “Why isn’t he telling people, presumably because he knows it will make power more expensive,” he said.
