Peter Dutton says “any sensible government must consider small ­modular nuclear as part of the ­energy mix”, even though nuclear power is banned in every state and territory, small nuclear power plants create long-living radioactive waste, and we are quite literally one of the sunniest and windiest countries on earth with enough renewable energy to power resources to power our country 500 times over. The nuclear argument gets dusted off and wheeled out every five years or so, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said last year, and “we have this economic analysis of whether nuclear power stacks up and every time it’s rejected”, as the AFR ($) reported.
