"WePlanet President Andrea Leong added: If Prime Minister Anthony Albanese returns to government he cannot pretend this election settled the nuclear debate. It didnt. What it did show is that misinformation works when it goes unchallenged. And that fossil fuels win when we let them. The science is clear. We need to phase out the burning of fossil fuels for energy. That means investing in clean energy including nuclear. The longer we delay the higher the cost to our health economy and climate. We have a simple ask of Mr Albanese: lift the ban on nuclear energy and stop treating energy policy as"
