AEMO report dismissing nuclear power has a 'couple' of issues: Shadow Finance Minister
Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume says the AEMO report dismissing nuclear power has a “couple” of issues.
Peter Dutton's argument of nuclear power being the best replacement for coal has been dismissed by the Australian Energy Market Operator as too expensive and slow.
“On first blush, I think we can say a couple of things,” Ms Hume told Sky News Australia.
“One – it doesn’t really delve into the cost of nuclear.
“The other is, that the figure that it is referring to don’t include the cost of distribution.
“What it is telling us is however the urgency with which action is required, because Australians deserve and expect cheaper, cleaner and efficient and reliable energy.”
