Economist Ross Garnaut says nuclear power is too costly
Nuclear power may be too costly for us: Ross Garnaut THE AUSTRALIAN JUNE 22, 2015Nuclear energy may be too costly in Australia to compete with renewables, a prominent economist says.
Ahead of his 2015 Luxton Memorial Lecture at the University of Adelaide tomorrow, Ross Garnaut told The Australian the world was moving decisively towards a low-carbon economy and Australia was uniquely placed to benefit from this.
However, Australia needed to remove political debate from discussion on renewable energy and instead let economics decide, Professor Garnaut said…….
His doubts about the economic merits of nuclear energy come during the South Australian royal commission into nuclear energy and ahead of debate at Labor’s national conference next month over its position on nuclear energy.
