Dr Karl blocked me after I told him that California was not 100% renewables as it had a nuclear plant. He’s now saying all nuclear plants have to be abandoned after 50 years because they become “dangerously radioactive”. There are dozens of reactors 50+ years old. New reactors are designed to last 80+ years. When they do shut down, it’s not because of radiation, and the land doesn’t have to be abandoned. Where does Dr Karl get this information from?

NSW’s Upper House last night voted 21-19 to lift their uranium & nuclear power ban. It’s the first time in recent memory a pro nuclear bill has passed a house of Parliament in Australia. This is a historic first step for lifting the state ban and other bans across the country.

South Australian Labor Premier Peter Malinauskus says "nuclear power has an important role to play globally" yet is uneconomic in Australia. So why not lift the ban to settle the question? Why does it stack up for the 38 countries pledged to triple nuclear by 2050, but just not us?

No wonder there aren't any proposals for nuclear to power data centres in Australia. It's illegal. Microsoft, Google and Meta are all investing in nuclear energy to power theirs overseas, yet the government pretends they wouldn't be interested in nuclear here.

Once again, nuclear disinformation goes unchecked by Australian media. This claim that nuclear in Australia would cost $600 billion assumed that nuclear costed more than 5x more than even the CSIRO's estimate. The ABC should issue an apology and correction for repeating it once again.

The Gov is doubling down on nuclear disinformation despite warnings of AI power shortages. According to Minister McBain most reactors were "set up in the 1950s" and "countries are puling out". Currently, 63 reactors are under construction and ≈60 nations are adding nuclear.

Good luck trying to get more of Australia’s uranium Narendra Modi. Last time India requested Australia’s uranium, Albanese opposed then PM Gillard and spoke against exporting. In 2007, he said on a uranium mining motion “the light on the hill is not the glow of radiation from a nuclear waste dump”. And in the recent nuclear fear campaign he posted that scenic Aussie locations were “under threat” from nuclear power plants. Hopefully our Prime Minister wakes up to the fact Australia is one of the only advanced economies not investing in nuclear soon…

Today nuclear experts and Nuclear Engineer Grace Stanke visited Parliament House to talk to politicians across the aisle about nuclear power. Despite being invited, the Prime Minister and Energy Minister refused to attend our briefing or a private meeting. It incredibly disappointing that when the experts are in town they are ignored by our leaders.

![The government has run out of excuses for keeping nuclear power illegal. During this interview with Anthony Albanese the hosts press him on why nuclear power is banned… Albo: “no one is saying that - hey, we want to invest in this [nuclear]. No one.” Host: “There's a rule that says you can't.” Albo: “No, that's because it doesn’t stack up.” Host: “Why do you need a rule if the business case doesn’t stack up, to ban it?” Albo: “Because it doesn’t stack up” Host: “Well, get rid of the moratorium, then” The lack of clear answers goes to show that the government’s only justification for defending the bans on nuclear power is politics. It is wrong to conflate the economics of nuclear with a principled position to just consider nuclear power. At this time, we need all options on the table, including nuclear power.
