Nuclear technology ‘already’ there and is ‘used around the world’: David Littleproud
Nationals Leader David Littleproud says nuclear technology is “already” there and it has been “used around the world”.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton is being criticised for delaying the release of his nuclear energy policy.
The Coalition was set to unveil the full details of its nuclear plans before the May Budget.
“The technology is there for nuclear already, and … it’s been used around the world,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News Australia.
“It’s also about making sure that we have an energy mix because what you’re doing by saying we’re going down batteries and all-renewables is you’re having concentration risk and that opens up Australia to significant vulnerabilities.”
