Chris Bowen describes the opposition’s promotion of the banned energy source as an attempt to ‘continue the culture climate wars’
Energy minister Chris Bowen says the Coalition has been dishonest about the comparative costs of nuclear power and renewable energy in Australia.Energy minister Chris Bowen says the Coalition has been dishonest about the comparative costs of nuclear power and renewable energy in Australia., has accused the Coalition of using “the rightwing playbook of 2023 – populism, polarisation and post-truth politics” in making false claims about the potential for nuclear power in Australia.
“If they are serious about proposing a nuclear solution for Australia, the simplistic bumper stickers and populist echo chamber has to come to an end. Show the Australian people your verified nuclear costings and your detailed plans about where the nuclear power plants will go. O’Brien told the summit on Monday that Australia needed to consider nuclear energy, which was banned by the Howard government in 1998. He said the Albanese government had “wrongly defined the challenge of net zero by making it all about pouring more renewables on to the grid”.
“If the government had correctly defined the challenge of net zero as reducing emissions, while accounting for issues of security, economics and the like, it would not be pursuing the suite of policies that it is,” he said.
