Q+A Success
Last month, our founder Will Shackel appeared on an energy-themed episode of Q+A with Chris Bowen, Ted O'Brien, Allegra Spender and Nicki Hutley. Will made a compelling case for the ban on nuclear energy to be lifted and contested claims that lifting the ban would be a 'distraction', nuclear energy was too expensive and that Australia would struggle to manage nuclear 'waste'. You can read our full update on the episode and watch the recording using the link below.

Social Media Highlight: How China is becoming a world leader in nuclear energy
Last week on social media we highlighted how China has quickly become a world leader in nuclear energy with 22 nuclear reactors currently under construction.
China already has 55 reactors including 'Shidao Bay 1' which is regarded as one of the first land based Small Modular Reactors in the world. In addition to their 22 reactors under construction, China is reportedly planning a further 150 to reach their goal of 10% total power generation from nuclear energy by 2035.
As China quickly positions itself as a world leader in nuclear energy, why is Australia not taking advantage of the enormous opportunity? What do our politicians know about nuclear energy that China doesn't?
