    This is the conceptdesign of a zero emissions small modular reactor.

    Nuclear energy hasproven to get electricity prices and emissions down all over the world.

    Out of the world’s 20largest economies, Australia is the only one not using nuclear energy or movingtowards it.

    Zero emissions nuclearenergy is part of the answer to our energy challenges.

    It works with renewablesand would allow Australia to get to net-zero. It will keep the lights on 24/7and keep electricity costs down.

    Right now, Australia'senergy comes from 63 per cent fossil fuels and 37 per cent renewables.

    As we transition awayfrom fossil fuels, Labor’s renewables-only approach means Australia risks amassive energy black hole and extraordinary costs.

    Labor is stuck in thepast, and like most of their policies, it is not forward-thinking, and you aresuffering because of it. The Coalition will not make the same mistake.

    I announced today that afuture Federal Coalition government will introduce zero-emissions nuclearenergy in Australia to work in partnership with renewable energy and gas aspart of a balanced energy mix.

    Our plan will deliver net-zero electricity by2050, lower power bills and a strong and resilient economy.
