‘Refusing to learn’: Labor ignoring ‘balanced mix’ of nuclear power in overseas countries

Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen is “refusing to learn” the lessons on nuclear power as part of a “balanced mix” from overseas countries, Climate Change and Energy Minister Ted O’Brien says. “There is no doubt as you look right across the world those countries that have nuclear energy as part of a balanced mix have lower electricity prices,” he said. “You have this zero-emissions energy source that keeps the lights on, it provides 24/7 baseload power … Labor is refusing to learn the lessons from overseas.”
