After last week’s damning ACCC report into the energy sector, Senator Cory Bernardi is calling for nuclear to be considered as a possibility in Australia’s energy mix. Though debate has been dominated by the ideologically polarising coal and renewables camps, Bernardi says the parameters of discussion need to be broadened so that Australia can rethink nuclear energy’s prohibited status. “We have a blanket moratorium on nuclear energy in this country,” says Bernardi.
