Australia’s opposition leader Peter Dutton has opened the door for the Liberal-National Coalition to put nuclear energy on the table as a policy going forward—a proposal previously panned by Energy Minister Chris Bowen as the “most expensive form of energy.”
An internal process will be run to examine the potential for “advanced and next-generation nuclear technologies” and chaired by Ted O‘Brien, the shadow minister for climate change and energy, who will then submit the report to the Coalition policy committee. O’Brien has long advocated for nuclear energy.
