There is no "policy work" that said nuclear would take 40 years in Australia. Likewise, there's no credible evidence that nuclear would cost $600 billion, provide 4% of power or that the public doesn't support it. Yet these false claims continue to get peddled by Australian media.

FACTCHECK: The $600bn figure is a lie. It’s based on extrapolating the cost of the most expensive nuclear power plant ever and doubling it. That assumes nuclear will cost 5x more than even the CSIRO’s prediction. The nuclear fear campaign must stop.

Anyone on face value would oppose a $600bn nuclear plan to power 4% of Australia’s grid. The issue: It never existed and was never challenged by the mainstream. Trickery & deception might work politically but it won’t solve the energy dilemma. The fight for nuclear continues.

This ONE reactor means 3 million homes will have clean, reliable power for 60 years or more. It was fantastic to see the first unit at Hinkley Point C which was installed in the past few days. ✍️Sign to lift Australia’s nuclear ban:

FACTCHECK: Nuclear won’t cost $600bn. This figure comes from extrapolating the cost of the most expensive nuclear plant ever and doubling it. Even the CSIRO assumes a lower capital cost. When will our leaders stop repeating and apologise for this dodgy number?

Australia’s climate tsar Matt Kean seemed shocked to hear that renewables were subsidised. This is the taxpayer funded activist who thinks Australia can run on solar and batteries and constantly attacks anyone who proposes adding nuclear power to a balanced energy mix.

The $600bn figure does not come from the CSIRO or AEMO contrary to what the Deputy PM says. It’s from a lobby group the SmartEnergyCouncil who extrapolated the cost of the most expensive nuclear power plant ever and doubled it. Even the CSIRO says nuclear is at least 5x cheaper.

This is Australian Labor's nuclear 'expert'. First, she said nuclear power causes heart attacks & strokes. Now, she's claiming nuclear plants can't get insured when (in reality) it's a condition of getting a license for operators to take out insurance.

Anti nuclear activists say they care about acting on climate change… Not only do they protest a clean source of energy, it turns out their inflatable is being powered (not by the sun) but a diesel generator.

This is a disappointing take from GetUp!… During COP28, they posted a video condemning the pledge to triple nuclear energy quoting The Simpsons as evidence. In order to address climate change, organisations like Getup must stick to the science and put their focus back on fighting for climate action- not fighting clean energy solutions like nuclear energy.

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.

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.

The “best estimate” for nuclear in Australia is not $600bn friendlyjordies. That estimate for Dutton’s nuclear policy assumed a nuclear capital cost more than 5x even the CSIRO. If you honestly believe nuclear doesn’t stack up here, why is it illegal?

I’ve been arrested. I wanted to test Australia’s nuclear power ban in this energy crisis, but got caught. I’ll now face up to 7 years jail time.

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.

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.

A 1GW reactor has a diameter of roughly 4m. To generate the same electricity you’d need roughly 3 million solar panels or 430 wind turbines. It’s fantastic to see the anti nuclear activists teaching the kids a lesson in energy density.

$600bn, 4% of the grid, Not ready til the 2040s 👆These are all LIES about nuclear power Here's the facts: 1/ '$600bn Cost' This figure is from the 'Smart' Energy Council (renewable lobby group). It extrapolates the cost of Hinkley C (the most expensive nuclear power plant ever) and literally doubles it. Even the CSIRO assumes lower nuclear capital costs for Australia. 2/ '4% of the grid' This figure is also from the 'Smart' Energy Council from dividing 11GW of nuclear capacity by 300GW of renewable capacity. However, Capacity ≠ Generation. 1GW of renewable capacity generates roughly a third of the power of 1GW of nuclear capacity. 3/ 'Not ready til the 2040s' The IAEA predicts it would take 10-15 years for a new to nuclear country to have nuclear power. The is the advice the Australian Government relies on for nuclear yet is being ignored by the PM & Energy Minister. These claims must be exposed. The nuclear disinformation campaign has gone too far. Also, no wonder the private sector isn't interested in nuclear in Australia. It's literally illegal right now in Australia. Learn more about nuclear: ✍️Sign to lift the ban:

Australia is the most tectonically stable continent. Yet Australian Labor Party politicians continue to fear monger about earthquakes impacting potential nuclear plants. If only they knew the United States, Taiwan & Japan all safely operate nuclear plants on the ring of fire.
