Shadow Fisheries, Forestry and Environment Minister Jonathon Duniam says there is no country with a net zero program which is credible without nuclear energy in the mix.
“I was completely blown away to read some of the coverage of the Labor conference,” Mr Duniam told Sky News host Amanda Stoker.
“There is no plan … just utter madness – phasing out all of these sources of energy generation are going to drive up bills.
“These people don’t know what they are talking about and point-blank refuse to even consider nuclear.”

They obviously don’t understand renewable resources 🤷🏽♂️
Labor is going to rue the day they went full left..they don’t stand up for people like myself..gone are the days where I used to vote for them
I'll believe in man made climate change when I witness just one person pushing this shite leading by example.
George Soros' society.
If a government was shutting down a country this is what it would look like.
I'm too powerful or rich to scrap my private jet. F-CK OFF.
What a total crock of bullllllllllshiiiiiiiiiiiiit. . . .
Down with the Government…
Down with Media…
all energy-producing machinery must be fabricated from materials extracted from the earth. No energy system, in short, is actually “renewable,” since all machines require the continual mining and processing of millions of tons of primary materials and the disposal of hardware that inevitably wears out. Compared with hydrocarbons, green machines entail, on average, a 10-fold increase in the quantities of materials extracted and processed to produce the same amount of energy. For a snapshot of what all this points to regarding the total materials footprint of the green energy path, consider the supply chain for an electric car battery. A single battery providing a useful driving range weighs about 1,000 pounds. Providing the refined minerals needed to fabricate a single EV battery requires the mining, moving, and processing of more than 500,000 pounds of materials somewhere on the planet . That’s 20 times more than the 25,000 pounds of petroleum that an internal combustion engine uses over the life of a car. Among the material realities of green energy:
Building wind turbines and solar panels to generate electricity, as well as batteries to fuel electric vehicles, requires, on average, more than 10 times the quantity of materials, compared with building machines using hydrocarbons to deliver the same amount of energy to society.
A single electric car contains more cobalt than 1,000 smartphone batteries; the blades on a single wind turbine have more plastic than 5 million smartphones; and a solar array that can power one data center uses more glass than 50 million phones.
Replacing hydrocarbons with green machines under current plans—never mind aspirations for far greater expansion—will vastly increase the mining of various critical minerals around the world. For example, a single electric car battery weighing 1,000 pounds requires extracting and processing some 500,000 pounds of materials. Averaged over a battery’s life, each mile of driving an electric car “consumes” five pounds of earth. Using an internal combustion engine consumes about 0.2 pounds of liquids per mile.
Oil, natural gas, and coal are needed to produce the concrete, steel, plastics, and purified minerals used to build green machines. The energy equivalent of 100 barrels of oil is used in the processes to fabricate a single battery that can store the equivalent of one barrel of oil.
By 2050, with current plans, the quantity of worn-out solar panels—much of it nonrecyclable—will constitute double the tonnage of all today’s global plastic waste, along with over 3 million tons per year of unrecyclable plastics from worn-out wind turbine blades. By 2030, more than 10 million tons per year of batteries will become garbage.
Jonathan who? From where,? Saying what? Who cares.
Give up, Jono. Anyone, with access to the internet, will see that nuclear power will drive up costs more than coal and renewables combined.

What about the trees they are cutting down for wind mills?
Sky News continue to keep flogging the nuclear dead horse.
Nuclear is going nowhere. Latest IEA projections for 2023 have global net wind and solar capacity additions of 440 GW, and nuclear 0 GW, with new plant capacity just keeping pace with closures. It is generating less power now than it did 2 DECADES ago! Wind and solar will add as much capacity this year as nuclear has reached after 65 years
Current and recently completed nuclear construction projects in the USA, France, UK and Finland have gone hopelessly over budget and time. No-one directly involved with the energy industry in Australia thinks it is viable here.
The ALP (Labor) is the party of gross hypocriscy and lies. Remember this next time you vote.
Labor destroys millions of hectares of forest and replaces it with toxic chinese solar panels and wind turbines yet wants to destroy an existing industry that replants tree's, now that is environmental vandalism on a massive scale.
Labor seems quite determined to repeat the failures other countries have moved on from.
Thank you all that voted Labor for my high power cost, and I hope you are all doing it tough, but we need Dutton to say HE will bring in nuclear power if he wants to win the next election
So timber costs will increase, with house building costs. Direct cause of inflation. So supply can't keep up with demand, so let's restrict the supply even more. Some politicians need to go back to school. I thought we need to trees to suck out the CO2 anyway? Must have missed that chemistry lesson… something called photosynthesis
What two creeps are in this photo. Both tell liars.
Thay are just implementing w e f policies it's not there fault
Weak political party…….show some leadership and listen to all…not just those who seek to destroy whatever they deem fits their radical agenda.
Albo and Bowan are unicorn farmers and live lar lar land
Albo and his parrots are so smart at destroying my New home Australia but how can I forget it's Putin's fault
If it’s 0.6% then why not ban? Why do we need to cut native Forrest’s?……as you say, they’re replanted anyway.
Labor are nothing short of Hypocritical: Bowen has allowed 600,000 Hectares of trees to be destroyed for windmills.
So they oppose logging but tear down thousands of acres of trees for wind farms and no environmental study for these areas. Shame on them
These clowns should be tared and feathered.
A title for your thumbnail…
The brain dead bunch …
Ban logging. Dont climb the trees. Don't touch the trees. Don't look at the trees. They belong to traditional land owners. Retributions are payable for just talking about the trees. Now say sorry.
