Fact-checking Four Corners episode ‘Nuclear Gamble’

Mike Jeffreys

Is nuclear energy a viable solution to Australia’s energy challenges or an unrealistic pursuit?

Peter Dutton argues that without nuclear, net zero is unattainable, while former Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull calls it a “dangerously stupid” idea. Some point to countries already using nuclear as part of their energy mix.

Mike speaks with Robert Parker, civil engineer and founder of Nuclear for Climate Australia, following the “Nuclear Gamble” episode of Four Corners.

Parker argues that nuclear isn’t a gamble—32 countries use it, and 50 are considering it whereas Australia’s reliance on 100% solar and wind is the real risk, and notes that no Australian nuclear advocates were interviewed for the episode.
