| Australia does not need to join the global nuclear energy renaissance, and should focus on its advantages in renewable energy, the head of the International Energy Agency says.“When I look around the world, nuclear is making a strong comeback. I have been a proponent of nuclear for many years,” he said.
“If we get these small, modular reactors technologically and economically competitive by the mid-2030s, it would be good news,” he said. “In Australia you have a lot of discussions on those things. I hope the discussions can be made more factual, less emotional and political,” he said. “For me it is a very vital technology, but the story of carbon capture and storage is a story of disappointment. It’s such a pity.”
“Still, I have hope that one day there’ll be enough push in that direction. But it is still far, far, far behind what we should be doing.”“We can use gas for some time to come,” he said. “It does not have as many emissions as coal. But it is not completely innocent. We should not see gas as a destination.”
