Nuclear energy is a ‘pretty straightforward’ alternative to cheaper energy: Keith Pitt

“If you want reliable energy that is affordable and it’s zero emissions, if that what people want,

this is the only game in town,” Mr Pitt told Sky News host Chris Kenny.“People won’t be able to afford it.”

And the most expensive!

So why didn't he bring this up during his nine years in government?

“Straightforward” Lol.

If Keith Pitt says do it ... It will only be in his masters interests ...

It's also the most expensive form of power generation, is illegal here in Australia, and a new plant takes several years to build. They are good, but no sense in any way for us.

And proven dangerous and nuclear waste is a problem Tell us about China's new nuclear fusion energy clean power and no nuclear waste

I support nuclear as long as Murdoch and the Libs have nothing to do with it. Meaningless renewables are faster and cheaper and here now so let's just got on with it.

You Luddite’s - Nuclear takes decades to implement, renewables take years if not months

So why didn’t they do it when they were in office for a decade ?

Let's see him put a nuclear plant in his electorate then.

In 2020-21 alone the world added 464 gigawatts of wind and solar power generation which is more energy than all the nuclear plants operating in the world today. Plus they take at least 10 years to build. 20 years ago nuclear was a good option. Not any more.

Keith lying again. Nuclear generated electricity is not zero emissions.

Why do the hacks at SKY even care what Keith Pitt has to say on nuclear energy. He is no expert on the subject. Get comments from an expert and it might be worth my attention.....otherwise sod off. Just another reason why Murdoch's media is irrelevant and nobody cares about it.

This story would have been relevant 20 years ago… renewables will do the job much cheaper.

9 years & the LNP did SFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙄

Nationals are just LNP hillie billies.

The cost of nuclear is probably overblown in many reports but how in the whatever does he think nuclear can influence the mooted 56% rise in electricity prices? SMRs expensive and NA yet. Western countries don't seem to be able to build conventional types in under 10 years.

PeterWallaceAU He'd be correct; sadly our brain-dead populous are programmed to fear the best power technology available on earth.

If u got your ear to street talk it’s becoming more obvious that with energy bills rising Nuclear power stations are back in favour, one’s been suprised hearing this from even greenies , the libs if had any commonsense be on to this , u sense labours on the nose BIG time

Renewable energy does not work. You have to have some sort of backup even for renewable energy. Is that fossil fuels or nuclear take your pic I would say nuclear

Nationals MP Keith Pitt has made it clear he knows SFA about power generation when he tried to make claims about batteries and windmills. At least his last name is a succinct description of where he wants to leave Australia...

Nationals MP Keith Pitt is unAustralian! We are uniquely placed to lead the world & for all to benefit from renewable energy/green hydrogen. AGL worked that out!! He wants monopolies to gouge us & use stranded assets to send tax free profits overseas! Choose Australia!

Renewables are cheaper/faster than nuclear, especially in Australia Nuclear power has always been unfeasible & is becoming more so

NUCLEAR FOR AUSTRALIA? How long to commission? - Who will build it & run it? How much will it cost? - Who will fund it? How much water will it need? - Where will it be located? GET SERIOUS!! Nuclear - Dispelling the Myths

Keith was instrumental with the Indue rollout in Wide Bay! How’d that go for him? Untrustworthy!

The neighbours dog said Skynews is the pitts

There won't be any meaningful Co2 reductions without nuclear!

People will only hate on this because sky news posted it 🤦🏾‍♂️ NPCs

Too obvious a solution … first we need to put the country through a power poverty crisis. Maybe when Chris Bowen can’t get his EV charged …

How much is he getting paid by vested interests to keep spruiking it?

keithjpitt Chris Kenny still struggling to make to old 'going nuclear' into ongoing story or is just laziness, old stories are easy to recycle.

Will you guys shutup already? We're not going nuclear end of story.

Pitt the Blunder

always great to learn something new, like where these Zero emission uranium mines are - seems its Australia, must be wonderland :)

I don't know if you'd call nuclear waste as an emission.🤔

Good. When the dudes superannuation funds makes an investment let the rest of us know.

THAT IS STEAM NOT SMOKE PLEASE USE A DISCLAIMER ON THESE PICS

Labor ‘wasted two hours attacking’ Scott Morrison: Keith PittNationals MP Keith Pitt says the Labor Party “wasted two hours attacking” former prime minister Scott Morrison amid the motion to censure him in parliament. Mr Pitt says, “to spend that time in the parliament on an attack on an individual I just think was wrong”. “I actually think people won’t like it at all, they’re out there worried about being able to pay their bills and their mortgages and their fuel,” Mr Pitt told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “And everything else that continues to go up and Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party wants to spend the parliament’s time kicking Scott Morrison.” LNP wasted 9 years … Never a waste of time. Just making sure his place in History is ensured. A waist of fkn time & clearly a political & virtuous vendetta against Morrison/LNP. A (new) low point in Australian political life.

‘We’re one country and we’re all equal’: Keith Pitt to vote ‘no’ on Voice to ParliamentNationals MP Keith Pitt has revealed that he will be voting no for a Voice to Parliament because “we are one people, we are one country, and we’re all equal”. “That’s how Australians I talk to want to be treated,” Mr Pitt told Sky News Australia. Mr Pitt said if Australia makes changes – such as the Voice – to the constitution, it would mean Australians “are not treated equally”. “That’s not something I’ll support,” he said. “This is a values decision. I’ll be voting no, but there are 25 million Australians that can make their own choice.” Giving a race/group more say/power/influence than everyone else, cause Democracy.
