Nuclear is not a ‘dirty word’ - it is simply the most expensive, slowest, and inflexible form of energy generation; it’s commercially unviable & uninsurable; it’s toxic to the environment & human health. Despite countless inquiries it remains a weird obsession of the Coalition.

And in fact nuclear is in decline globally. It peaked as a proportion of global energy in 1996. The number of reactors peaked in 2002. Last year the world added 440GW of renewables. Nuclear decreased -1GW. China alone added 217GW renewables and only 1GW nuclear.

Live sheep exports by sea have been plummeting for years, along with community support due to serious animal welfare concerns. Now, the trade will end, with Parliament voting to phase out the industry from 1 May 2028.

There is no evidence that nuclear SMRs are cheaper and safer. They don’t exist. The evidence from projects in development is they are just as unbelievably expensive and slow as old large nuclear. #insiders

Just to be clear: it is utterly wrong to say there is any proposal to store high-level nuclear waste at Garden Island or in Fremantle. As a lifelong anti-nuclear advocate I welcome engaged scrutiny in this area - but there’s no value in baseless misinformation and fearmongering.
