Canada touts its thriving nuclear power industry as complementary to green energy goals as Australia divided by climate debate
The Coalition is questioning why the government cannot look to incorporate nuclear in the energy mix by building small modular reactors like its other Western counterparts including Canada, UK, and the US. “One of the things that we have been able to do is eliminate coal from our system and I know that's something that you're aiming to do in Australia as well,” he told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood in an exclusive interview.
Mr Smith said nuclear had not just helped bring down the cost of electricity but also helped tackle the “intermittent, unreliable” issues of generating renewable power amid periods of unfavourable weather including lacking sunlight and slow winds.
