New research shows many Australians support adding nuclear to the country’s energy mix as the Coalition continues to spruik its plan to build seven plants by 2050.

A new survey has revealed many Australians support bringing nuclear energy to Australia, a feat the Coalition has outlined in a new plan billed as “sensible” and “commonsense” by a Liberal Senator.

“But this backing fell away somewhat when respondents were specifically asked if they would be ‘comfortable with a nuclear reactor being built in your region’.” “Labor’s renewables-only approach, having all their eggs in one basket, is actually pushing up the price of energy. “The Coalition have said in the long term nuclear should be a part of a balanced energy mix that will in the long-term bring prices back down,” she said.
