Chris Bowen criticised for ‘trashing’ nuclear energy

Sky News host Rowan Dean has criticised Energy Minister Chris Bowen for “trashing” nuclear energy. Mr Dean said nuclear energy is the one energy source with zero emissions Australia “do have a potential abundant supply on”. On the ABC, Mr Bowen acknowledged starting nuclear energy in Australia from scratch would be costly and difficult. “Until recently we didn’t have a renewables industry either we started that from scratch,” Mr Dean said. “Everything this bozo is doing is starting from scratch.”
