David Speers on the Federal Opposition’s nuclear power plan

The Federal Opposition has unveiled a major power play, pitching a plan for nuclear reactors across the country. Seven sites have been earmarked for nuclear power if the coalition wins the next election. All sites are either existing or recently retired coal-fired power plants, connected into the grid with poles and wires. The Coalition claims nuclear is the only way to ensure Australia meets its commitment for net zero carbon emissions by 2050 without placing the burden on household and business budgets. ABC’s Political Lead David Speers weighs in.
