Nuclear power makes no sense for Australia - but it's a useful diversion from real climate action.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton argues that Australia needs nuclear power to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. However, the author of this article argues that nuclear power is not feasible for Australia due to its slow implementation, high cost, and unsuitability for the country's energy needs. The author suggests that the push for nuclear power is a diversionary tactic used by climate change deniers to delay the transition to renewable energy sources. They argue that the real goal is to prolong the use of fossil fuel power stations and undermine investment in renewables. The author concludes that there is no realistic chance of nuclear power plants being built in Australia, and that the focus should be on urgent action to address climate change.
