Nuclear is far from a reality in Australia. In the interim, Dutton’s plan would prop up coal and gas
A successful transition to clean energy is vital to Australia’s prosperity. But the Coalition’s latest nuclear salvo leaves many unanswered questions.

Like its close cousin depreciation, amortisation is an important concept in accounting. How and why do we write off the cost of assets over time?
Sending a nuclear fission reactor into space means lots of technical questions. One research group is coming up with models that could improve how a nuclear rocket starts up and powers down.
It seems increasingly clear the Coalition’s nuclear policy would prolong Australia’s reliance on fossil fuels, at a time when the world is rapidly moving to far cleaner sources of power.
The only way to make nuclear power work in Australia is to unplug cheap renewables. Stop exporting electricity from rooftop solar system. Forget feed-in tarrifs. Everyone use baseload nuclear first.

Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy Ted O'Brien, who has spearheaded the Coalition's Nuclear Energy plans joins us today to talk about the plan and Australia's energy market.
Energy experts – and even Greenpeace – underestimated solar power’s rapid global growth. As this chart shows, solar’s now set to become the world’s biggest power source within the next decade.
Public ownership is back in vogue, after the Coalition promised publicly owned nuclear plants in a decade. The problem is, the public service has been hollowed out.
