Greens in other countries ‘support nuclear energy’

Nationals MP Keith Pitt says the moratorium on nuclear energy "should be lifted" for new technologies like "small modular reactors" noting the "Greens in other countries" are very "supportive" of nuclear energy. "Big SMRs don't need to be located near large bodies of water ... and I think there would be regional towns out there who'd be quite happy to have a five, six or $10 billion reactors," he said. "We have a Labor party that is against gas, hydro, nuclear and coal - all of which will reduce emissions. "They want to leave us with intermittent wind and solar which simply can't run the nation and its industries." A bid to remove a nuclear moratorium in Australia has been rejected.
