Australians ‘well behind’ Peter Dutton on nuclear energy

Geologist Ian Plimer says Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has “hit a chord” with many people regarding his push for nuclear energy. “We have had this massive ingress of wind and solar power into our energy systems, every time we put more wind and solar into our systems our costs go up,” Mr Plimer told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “What Dutton is saying is we’re going to have a look into this. “The public is well behind him on this, they are hurting, especially people in suburbia – they are really hurting with absolutely monstrous electricity bills.”
