Former NSW premier Bob Carr says cost blowouts and huge delays around the world are showing the nuclear industry is not offering the “golden hope” it promised.

“In the whole of the United States there is only one nuclear power plant under construction and it is being subjected to the most extreme delays and cost blowouts,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.“In France there hasn’t been a new power plant added to their grid since 1999 and they’re taking at least three, perhaps six out of it.

“The only new plant to be built in western Europe has been in Finland it was supposed to be operating in 2009 and there’ve been huge cost blowouts there. “That’s why I say the industry is not offering us the silver bullet, the golden hope that we were led to believe and which persuaded me 15 years ago.”

Mr Carr argued renewables backed up by batteries are Australia’s “safest bet” for pulling off a transition to net zero emissions.

Kenny won't be happy as they are promoting this ' biiiig' special which you would assume promotes nuclear as' green' energy as do regular ipa members as its part of their platform. murray was abit nonplussed at the end of the interview as i suspect it didn't go his way

France actually just announced they will invest 1 billion euros in Nuclear energy before 2030. The plan is to install smaller nuclear reactors.
