Because the left in Australia is deathly afraid of nuclear and the right finds that it constituents are those who work in coal, one of our major industries.

Our largest 3rd party, the greens just won't even consider nuclear, to them it's solar/wind or bust.

Yes, what would a country with a "sunshine coast" that is continually engaged in trying to keep the powerful rays of the sun off its skin want with solar power?

Nuclear would be ridiculously expensive for Australia. Renewables and gas would be achievable in under 10 years.

Australia has 34% of the world's low-cost uranium reserves.

Fueling a nuclear power plant is never expensive comparing to just about anything else there.
