Peter Dutton’s announcement on new government-owned nuclear power stations at existing coal sites prompts discussions on practicality, cost, and overcoming legislative hurdles. Rob Parker, Founder of Nuclear for Climate, joins John Stanley.

Chris O’Keefe applauds Peter Dutton’s bold proposal, seeing it as a crucial step towards securing consistent and affordable electricity while reducing environmental impact.

Shadow Energy Minister Ted O’Brien defends the proposal for seven new locations for nuclear power plants in Australia, emphasising its potential to lower energy prices and secure the nation’s power supply.

Dr. Barry Trail of Climate Solutions Australia, criticises the Coalition’s nuclear energy policy for being costly, impractical, and slow to implement.
