Australia needs nuclear energy in our energy mix.

Nuclear energy is always on, low cost and emissions free power which can support the grid and energy intensive industries.

32 countries including the US, UK, Sweden and Finland have nuclear energy.

50 countries are considering using nuclear for the first time.

Yet, nuclear energy is BANNED in Australia.

Benefits of nuclear energy:

Nuclear will secure our grid and industry

Nuclear energy delivers always on, abundant power regardless of the weather. It is the most reliable energy source and can be flexible with renewables in order to keep the lights on. Nuclear also has many off the grid applications and can provide vast amounts of power and industrial heat to major industry and can contribute to desalination and hydrogen production. 

Nuclear will lower power bills

Nuclear energy lowers power bills in many countries around the world. In Finland, when their new nuclear power plant was opened, power bills dropped by 75%. Meanwhile in Australia power bills are going to record highs as we pursue a 100% renewable transition. Nuclear power plants can last from 60 years to over a century and could lower energy bills for generations to come. 

Nuclear will help Australia decarbonise

Nuclear energy has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions of energy source. During operation, nuclear plants are emissions free and have significantly less emissions over their lifetime compared to fossil fuels and renewables as they require significantly less land, less mining and produce less waste. If Australia wants to act on climate change, we must consider nuclear energy.
