DON'T NUKE
OUR FUTURE!
Australia can't afford the risk of nuclear energy. The coalition's nuclear plans are nothing but a smokescreen for prolonging coal and gas. Nuclear would be too risky, too expensive, too slow and it's not needed.
Sign the petition to tell Dutton you don't support the Coalition's nuclear plans.

Australia can't afford the risk of nuclear energy
- Nuclear is too risky and dangerous.
Nuclear is illegal in Australia, and for good reason. The waste is dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years and the world has failed to deliver a safe, permanent storage method. The Coalition has offered no plan for how or where waste would be safely stored or how workers and neighbouring communities would be protected. - Nuclear is prohibitively expensive.
Independent experts like CSIRO and AEMO have both said that energy generation from nuclear power is twice as expensive as renewables. We also don’t know how much it will cost to store and treat nuclear waste. Nuclear is an expensive gamble not worth taking.
- Nuclear is not needed.
We don’t need to start nuclear from scratch when we’re already 40% of the way to powering our country with the sun and wind. Renewables are only growing cheaper by the day and are already slashing climate pollution today. - Nuclear is a smokescreen for prolonging coal and gas.
Nuclear will lock us into coal and gas for decades to come, while we wait for nuclear to come online. Dutton’s plan is a bad-faith delay tactic to prop up the fossil fuel industry as long as possible. It’s a dangerous distraction that will hold back the rollout of the clean renewable energy needed to slash climate pollution this decade.
