Australian government urged to stop ‘ignoring the science’ on nuclear energy

The Australian government is “ignoring the science” and the “global evidence” for nuclear being an effective pathway to net-zero, Nuclear for Australia Founder Will Shackel says. “At the moment unfortunately, our politicians are ignoring the will of the people,” Mr Shackel told Sky News host James Macpherson. “They’re ignoring the science. “Ignoring the global evidence of nuclear being an effective pathway to net-zero. “If they are going to open their minds up to all of those facts and to all of that evidence, I hope that they will therefore change their mind and make their first priority to lift the ban on nuclear energy.”
