South Australia has called for open and informed debate around the costs associated with building the nuclear industry, arguing it must be integrated into the energy mix to fast track net zero commitments if proven to be commercially viable.
SA Premier Peter Malinauskas supports debate on viability of nuclear power in break from Albanese government
“We are going to have a nuclear industry in South Australia, and it's one that my government supports, and I certainly embrace, because only a few kilometres where we are right now we're going to be building nuclear submarines which is the most advanced of the technology as far as the nuclear fuel cycle goes,” Mr Malinauskas told host Chris Kenny.
The Albanese government’s climate and energy policies have entirely rejected the prospect of nuclear power as a low-emission alternative to fossil fuels and instead solely looked at expanding electricity generation through wind, solar, and biomass. Echoing federal shadow energy minister Ted O'Brien and the Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, the Premier argued there should at least be a debate on the viability of nuclear.
