They tried to nuke the climate, and this happened. No more excuses: the future is renewable, not radioactive.

“It wasn’t worth it in 1953, and it’s definitely not worth it today” In this country, we must allow First Nations wisdom and knowledge to lead the way when it comes to energy generation – and the consensus is overwhelmingly clear: renewables are the only way forward. #auspol

There are A LOT of myths surrounding nuclear power. Particularly in Australia, where pro-nuclear politicians and lobbyists like to try and tell people that somehow this country would not face the same risks as every other country that has used nuclear power. #auspol #PeterDutton

Long term activist and musician Peter Garret wrote a searing opinion piece in The Age this week, outlining how dangerous Dutton’s nuclear energy vision would be for this country. 🔗 theage.com.au/politics/feder…

In particular, he touches on how important it is to have conversations about the danger and misinformation about nuclear energy with younger voters, most of whom weren’t even born at the height of the nuclear resistance fight.

Now and beyond the Federal Election it is essential that we keep the conversation about the dangers of nuclear power central to conversations about the path toward 100% renewable energy.

'Nuclear is waste of time and money.' 'Somehow, the nuclear lobby has managed to convince politicians that the industry is green and “clean”. Luckily, the National Audit Office is not so easily taken in, as it’s just proved with a nice reality check.' thetimes.com/business-money/…

Nuclear may be reliable but let’s not pretend it’s clean

The National Audit Office has found that the Sellafield nuclear waste dump is still a mess, with costs spiralling and projects delayed

It’s hardly surprising that the #LNP’s sham “nuclear policy” would lead to vast amounts of coal & gas being extracted & burnt. That’s the entire point - it’s precisely why the fossil fuel industry funds the major parties.💰🔥 #auspol #conflictsofinterest abc.net.au/news/2024-09-26/c…

Dutton's plan for nuclear power will open up a $70 billion gas gap, Labor says

Closing the nuclear-energy electricity gap with gas power will cost $70 billion, boost emissions by 325 million tonnes, and increase gas usage through to 2035 by five times annual production,...

Brief thread on Peter Dutton's unravelling nuclear brain-freeze. No plan, no costings, no community buy-in, no clue. This isn't a policy, it's a cynical con. #DontNuketheClimate

Peter Dutton's nuclear plan still has no costings, and no grid connection: It's a political hoax

Peter Dutton's big speech on nuclear provided a couple of new porkies, and no details of what, why, when and how much. Just denial and delay.
