Sky News host Chris Kenny says the case for nuclear as part of the energy mix in Australia is “overwhelming”.
More than 30 nations utilise nuclear energy as part of their grid with 13 of them producing at least a quarter of their power from uranium.
Australia is now one of the world’s largest exporters of uranium, thereby helping other countries produce clean, reliable electricity, without greenhouse gas emissions.
“If we are going to have the cost argument, nuclear will win hands down,” Mr Kenny said.
“Now that the nuclear energy debate is only about cost, it must be time to get rid of the legal ban on nuclear energy, and let the economics decide.”
