Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy to build and run. We can’t afford Dutton’s nuclear surcharge.
Nuclear is the most expensive type of power to build and run.
The energy produced by nuclear reactors is eight times more expensive than electricity produced by renewables.
A 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactor in Australia would cost up to $17 billion, nearly 1.5 times the cost of the same sized coal-fired power station, and 10 times the cost of the same sized solar farm.
Nuclear will drive up everyone’s energy bills. The average Australian household would pay $590 per year more on their power bill with nuclear.
