Dutton outlines ‘significant’ cost nuclear plan, says Labor’s option is ‘economic self-harm’
Conceding a nuclear industry couldn’t be built up overnight, he said a future Coalition government would create an energy mix of renewables, firmed up by gas and nuclear in what he described as a more “pragmatic approach” to energy policy similar to international models.He said on Monday the upfront cost would be “significant” but would be balanced out by the reactors’ 80-year lifespan, and that the Coalition would release more details “at a time of our choosing”.

Two new pieces of analysis, out last Friday, cast doubt over the Coalition’s plan. Independent think tank Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis found nuclear power could increase Australian household power bills by $665 a year on average.

Meanwhile, government modelling forecasted the Coalition’s energy policy, based on assumptions nuclear would only produce four per cent of Australia’s 2050 energy needs, would contribute to a demand-supply gap of between 18 and 49 per cent by 2035.

'Coalition would release more details “at a time of our choosing”.'

Either Dutton still doesn't have a clue as to the cost or that's an incredibly arrogant statement
