Rewiring Australia Co-founder Saul Griffith says he “might not” recommend nuclear to Australia for “cost reasons”.

This follows AEMO releasing a roadmap to transition the National Electricity Market (NEM) to net zero by 2050.

“Gas might have been a transition fuel in the 1990s, but that ship has sailed,” Mr Griffith told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood.
