Climate Council & Smart Energy Council briefing: The price of nuclear in a cost of living crisis
This briefing will focus on the costs and timelines of alternative energy options for Australia.
With a federal committee on Nuclear Energy now underway, and a cost-of-living federal election approaching, the Climate Council and the Smart Energy Council are hosting a critical briefing on Monday, October 22 at 10:00 AM AEST.
As the national debate continues around the most affordable and reliable path forward, The Climate Council and the Smart Energy Council want to ensure you have access to independent, expert analysis on the economic implications.
Australians are being told to look to the Canadian province of Ontario as a case study for why we should embrace nuclear energy. But is Ontario’s nuclear experience really the success story it’s made out to be? An expert from Ontario will join the event online to fact-check these claims.
Speakers:
- Prof. Mark Winfield, York University (Canada) - academic and author specialising in energy and environment.
- Dylan McConnell, Energy Analyst
- Nicki Hutley, Economist and Climate Councillor
