Formerly a proponent of nuclear power in the country’s energy future, Mr Kean has now appeared to have dismissed it as “too expensive”. "I can only talk about the role that I saw it play as the New South Wales Energy Minister... We looked at all options, including nuclear," Kean said. "There are some exciting things happening on the nuclear front. A company in the United States is developing technology around small modular nuclear reactors," Kean said at the time.
