Nuclear power in Australia’s energy transition with Jai Mirchandani
Manage episode 435067028 series 3379485
There are currently more than 400 nuclear power reactors in 32 countries, generating about a tenth of the world's electricity.
The Coalition’s plan to build seven nuclear power plants to replace Australia's ageing coal-fired power stations and to abandon the government's 2030 net zero target has been receiving plenty of attention.
Is this idea viable?
To discuss we have Jai Mirchandani, founder and portfolio manager at ELM Responsible Investments.
Jai sits down with host Rose Mary Petrass, senior journalist at FS Sustainability, to discuss the timeline, costs, and safety of nuclear power, as well as the geopolitical risks that are associated with this renewable energy source.
