"So, here it is, finally, the Coalition’s nuclear policy – a massive and
dangerous boondoggle to build expensive nuclear power plants that presents a
serious threat to Australia’s renewable energy transition, and the country’s
economic future.
It’s a policy that is all about power, not so much on the grid as to what flows
through the corridors of parliament house and in the channels of mainstream and
social media.
And amid all the insults about the stupidity, the impracticality, and moral
vacuum of the plan, energy minister Chris Bowen probably best summed it up:
“It’s a joke, but a serious joke because it threatens the renewable
transition.”
And that much is true. It’s what the policy is designed to do. It may make no
sense, but it is designed to be deliberately populist and has been
enthusiastically supported by the Murdochs and the fossil fuel industry."
