Oh please! Here we go again, beating around the bush once more. It's quite simple. yes or no? The people are over the BS of Net Zero, climate change and renewables. Smr's although suitable, do not fit fit in our mind set or culture! As a country we need to look to what Finland has accomplished, and at least put their ambitions into perspective. Their latest is a 1600Mw nuclear power generator, gee it would be nice to have that amount of power, from one reactor mind you! They announced they will pursue a secondary unit of the same capability. This level of power cannot be ignored any longer, no matter how much money the labor party wishes to waste on their mind blowing dreams. And that is what it is, a dream! At present there is enough time to implement nuclear before the domestic market has to start replacing solar panels and batteries, let alone how many wind turbine blades that will be required! I for one, being exposed to weapons grade uranium(in Australia), do not feel frightened.
@dagwould Says:
Coalition would be better placed simply to advocate for the removal of the foolish nuclear ban, simplify environmental controls for small area power generation and make it harder for large area generation, such as solar and wind...the owners of which would have to provide continuous clean power to be able to sell to the grid and so have to look after their own backup and voltage management. Then let the market operate. New HELE units in the short term and appropriate nuclear if the market wants to in the longer term.
Governments picking winners in the market is a recipe for disaster. On which, over to you Albo.

Has the Coalition heard of a "one trick pony"?
Won't be voting for these anti-democratic clowns.. and I support nuclear as part of the energy mix.
@alancotterell9207 Says:
What the Coalition are pretending to comtemplate is way beyond the ken of any politician. Supposition and speculation are not systematic riskmanagement. Luddites should not be in charge of nuclear reactors. How can you listren to the opinion of such an idiot and believe what he is saying ?

Get rid of this net zero, we are already at net zero if you account for our forests, grasslands & oceans.
@desking8065 Says:
Nuclear is not zero co2 15-50 Grams / KwH x 1G = An open-ended checkbook for something that is not variable, besides that you just can not have one. Nuclear can only supply the same of power as coal. 1G. You will need about 4 just for vic alone. Nuclear can not work with solar and wind because it is not variable. Exactly no better than we have now. Power prices can not come down while we still operate coal power because it is not variable for short notice.
@neilbeauchamp1924 Says:
I wish the coalition would stop fiddling on the edges and comm\e out and clearly state their policy. Wind and solar are failing us. Zero emissions is a foolishness because Australia makes no difference toCO2, the very gas of life. The coalition should come out and state the truth about CO2 and how its benefit is far greater than any possible unproven concerns.
@graemekeeley4497 Says:
The Coalition must maintain the push towards nuclear technologies to bring stable 25/7 reliable power must be maintained
It's up to the Coalition to unite on this and push education programs to overcome the false propaganda that Nuclear is unsafe to Nuclear is the future for clean energy
Australia cannot continue down the path that Solar and Wind can power a Nation it is humanly impossible and is propaganda and pushed by powerful vested interests via huge subsidies through our political system by the Greens and the Teals and in sections of the Labor Party
Arguing that wind and solar are the cheapest is a meme employed by green lobbyists, activists and politicians around the world
Renewable energy projects such as wind and solar will receive subsidies of up to $2.8 billion a year up to 2030 in an attempt to reach Labor's Renewable Energy Target.

There's no need to veto nuclear power. What people need is to be educated on how clean nuclear energy is. We should've done this in the 90's. All the Australian government has done is hold back our potential so other countries can profit from us. It's time for that to reverse. Vote me King of Australia & we'll be building a hotel on the moon in 20 years.
@galacticnemesis366 Says:
Bring on cheap zero emissions energy security. Put one in my backyard if you like. No worries. Thereβs hundreds of the bloody things all around the world. Has been for years. The techs evolved way beyond the any safety concerns and new tech reuses the waste until itβs storage time is reduced to bugger all. All countries that have tried 100% renewables have ended up in poverty ruined the country side devastated natural habitat commited economic suicide vs those with nuclear in the mix have prospered. There is no future for Australia that doesnβt include nuclear in the energy mix. Even from a defence point of view how can we have nuclear submarines that we canβt maintain? We need a nuclear industry. It has to happen. Once it does Australians will have cheaper power bills and industry will return and thrive. It will also assist our farmers to keep their productive land and prevent the devastation of vast areas of natural Australian bush. ππππ¦πΊ

Why doesn't this arsehole grill Labor about their lack of community consultation. These woke commentators always look to put the LNP on the spot, and give Labor a free pass. What about Labor allowing blasting of ridges all up and down the Great Dividing Range.
@patricksharp1063 Says:
Net Zero was always an oxymoron. CH4, H20 and CO2 are the first 3 compound molecules created inside the Sun in that order, and are the molecules that are the basis of all organic carbon life found throughout the universe and on Earth. Coal. oil, methane, wind, solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and even Nuclear are all energy forms created by the Sun, and are all forms of Solar Energy, all freely available for humans to use in order to improve everyone's standard of living. You are being scammed by ideologues who have little understanding of science or even how Nature works but who understand the power of fear, and the confusion of ignorance.
@steveblake6877 Says:
The Coalition must look at what is good for Australians. Not them. Not popularity. Not pleasing the Greens. What is good for us, the Mums and Dads. The Grandparents. The small businesses. The large businesses. Because every sector is in pain with the Albo/ Bowen fiasco. Incompetent rubbish. If the Coalition think with us and for us, they will win back power. If they stray into idiotic agendas, they are cooked and so are we.

@99bevo Says:
at this stage it would be nieve to rule out large nuclear . This is the difference between the Liberal party & a labour party .
The liberal party do there homework.
Then based on the cost the affect on community & habitat etc
basically study everything they need to understand nuclear power construction.
The labour party just have a idea & hand out money without looking at all of the options to see wich is the most beneficial for Australia & achieve a energy supply the meets Australian requirement need
@aaronaaron3003 Says:
We should be using the coal we already have we shouldn't be shutting down the power assets that we already have like what is planned to happen. There is clean coal technology if they are so worried about the environment.
@yggdrasil9039 Says:
Nuclear proposal is a massive liability for the Coalition. It's like they've drawn a big political target on themselves for the next election. Renewables and batteries will be even cheaper by next year and then the nuclear idea just looks silly.
Far better for LNP to attack Labor's poor rollout of renewables, which has been a top down approach, where they should be allowing citizens near to areas hosting large scale renewables to become shareholders and direct beneficiaries of projects.
