Today’s deep dive focuses on Nuclear Vision
Have you noticed more discussion about nuclear energy lately?
Australia has never used nuclear power to generate electricity but that may change in the future.
The Coalition government has released the long-awaited costing plan for its nuclear energy vision, which aims to build seven nuclear power stations across Australia. Opposition leader Peter Dutton claims that lifting the country’s current nuclear energy bans will lead to a more reliable electricity supply.
However, the costings have faced criticism from industry experts and the Labor government, which advocates for a renewable energy strategy to reduce emissions. Watch the video to learn more.
