Taxpayers are usually the ones who are on the hook for nuclear -- especially cleanup or accidents. #PriceAndersonAct
Coalition's #nuclear plan is 'virtually impossible' without #taxpayer funding
David Chau
June 16, 2024"Earlier this year, Victorian Liberal leader John Pesutto told ABC Radio Melbourne that he did not support the construction of nuclear reactors in the #LaTrobeValley, the site of existing coal-fired power stations.
"Queensland's Liberal-National leader David Crisafulli said nuclear was not on his agenda 'because it just won't happen until Canberra sorts that out'.
"Some of the most vocal opposition has come from New South Wales' former Liberal treasurer Matt Kean, who dismissed nuclear as 'hugely #expensive' and a 'Trojan horse' for the #CoalIndustry.
In addition, the nation's leading "scientific body, the CSIRO, says it would take at least 15 years to build a large-scale #NuclearPowerPlant — and it would cost twice as much to produce electricity through nuclear reactors when compared with #renewable sources."

CW: Environmental policy nerdery
I've spent the better part of my Sunday diving into the history of #environmental and #climate policy in #Victoria, how these issues have been governed in various portfolios from the 1970s, and the 'machinery of government arrangements' (how governments built their departments to deliver their policy agenda). You can thank me after 26 November.
In the meantime, here's a photo of a candidate's forum in #LatrobeValley from last week, organised by #EnvironmentVictoria
Our #CommunityOrganisers and local #environment groups invited energy single lower and upper house candidate for the seat of #Morwell to talk about their environment and climate policies. As you can see three cam along (none from #Labor #Liberals #Nationals or #Independent) A couple of candidates bailed at the last minute, and many didn't respond at all.
Most of the packed audience (just shy of 100) included in their questions some variation of 'we feel ignored and that our concerns about Latrobe Valley's future, including for its environment and energy transition aren't taken seriously'. I'll let the photo speak for itself.
I'm thinking about this in the context of environmental and climate governance, and machinery of government arrangements. Obviously elections and governance are very different things, but it's interesting to see who cares about what early on in their potential political career.
