Australian government against nuclear amid climate and energy crisis makes ‘no sense’

It makes no sense that the government is against nuclear power as Australia faces an energy and climate crisis, Nuclear for Australias William Shackel says. When were experiencing an energy and climate crisis, it makes no sense why we would be restricting one of the cleanest and most reliable technologies, that being nuclear energy, Mr Shackel told Sky News contributor Gary Hardgrave. Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has dismissed the Oppositions push for nuclear to be part of Australias energy future. A new Resolve poll, revealed exclusively by Sky News Australia, found less than one in five Australians oppose ending the ban on nuclear energy, while almost half the country is in favour. When Resolve asked the 4700 Australians who were part of the poll if they supported the use of nuclear power in Australia, 33 per cent said yes while 24 per cent said they were opposed a further 29 per cent said they either did not have a strong view, while 13 per cent were undecided.
