nuclear energy is very safe some very rare mistakes have tarnished its reputation. such as chernobyl that used old and fatly soviet Equpment with improper matinee causing a meltdown that could have been avoided

 @9LSYDP6disagreed…1wk1W

The nuclear energy ban should be lifted and left to private industry. If nuclear energy makes economic sense and passes environmental and safety standards then they can be privately funded.

 @9LR5PYFLabordisagreed…1wk1W

Nuclear is safe, clean and efficient. There is no reason not to switch save for the coal mining companies losing income.

 @9LQRM3Gdisagreed…2wks2W

Nuclear power in its right is the way forward to buy us time to invest in the more expensive renewable energy sources. It can power more for cheaper and we could then effectively use the land that is a complete unused wasteland.

 @9LPBY7Zdisagreed…2wks2W

Nuclear energy is a reliable source that's not affected by weather, which is crucial for keeping lights on all year round. We could build plants in remote, sparsely populated parts of Australia, minimising risks and keeping things safe. We would reduce our energy bills and give our economy a boost by creating new jobs, drawing in skilled workers from advanced economies which would likely lead to a growth in new tech sectors. It's a win-win.

 @9KKT5B5Liberaldisagreed…2mos2MO

Nuclear energy is more effective, cleaner and less harmful to the environment than fossil fuels. Australia is well-placed to house nuclear facilities and waste storage/disposal than almost any other country on earth. With the amount of uranium in South Australia alone, the country could power itself and even export the materials overseas for economic gain.
It's not 1986 and we're not in Chernobyl, so how Australia has not embraced this already is completely beyond me.

That Nuclear Energy isn't something people should be afraid of, and they chould embrace that it's the best way to access clean energy.

 @9GKDYMJdisagreed…6mos6MO

Nuclear power provides a reliable and green energy source that can help mitigate climate change. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear energy produces zero greenhouse gas emissions, making it a valuable option in the transition to a more sustainable energy future. Newer reactors also produce negligible radioactive waste, and if stored properly, waste spills / contamination will be almost impossible.

Nuclear energy is more reliable, safer and capable of producing more electricity than other green alternatives. Hydroelectric dam failure has killed more people than nuclear disasters. Note thorium reactors are a type of nuclear reactor and are even safer than uranium-based reactors.

 @9GBNGDQdisagreed…7mos7MO

if we grow with all our buildings and electric cars and soon aircraft we need more and more electricity and the only way on doing this is to implement nuclear energy, and nuclear energy nowadays are a lot more safe and reliable

 @9G8RVXCLabordisagreed…7mos7MO

Technology has come a long way since chernobyl and other disasters, it has been made safe. Combined with Australia's large reserve of uranium it would be a smart move.

 @9G74PGZDavid Pocockdisagreed…7mos7MO

Nuclear energy is a safe solution to counteract the climate crisis by reducing greenhouse emissions for its use and its cheaper and more affordable for people to use

 @9G3BX49disagreed…7mos7MO

The "No" position on nuclear energy typically revolves around concerns over safety, waste disposal, cost, and potential for weapon proliferation. Here's a counter-argument for each of these concerns:

Safety Concerns:

Modern nuclear reactors, especially Generation III+ and IV designs, have numerous safety features that make catastrophic failures extremely unlikely. The infamous accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima involved older reactor designs and, in the case of Chernobyl, significant human error.
Statistically, nuclear energy has caused fewer deaths per terawatt-hour (TWh)…  Read more

Reactors have come a long way since the days of Chernobyl and come in an array of systems and styles,. The land surrounding Chernobyl is thriving as a result of human avoidance after the incident, it is not nearly as harmful to the environment as is commonly thought, albeit harmful to humans who linger too soon.
