By Noel Wauchope, published 11/9/2019

Even on the pro-nuclear side, there are some reservations, and not all are sceptical of renewable energy.

Here is one you missed.

"Australia’s power system must be reliable, affordable and sustainable. Whilst
maintaining high reliability, Australia has to successfully make the transition of its
power system to a more affordable system with lower emissions.
In the long run, there may be only four practical technologies available for lowemissions power systems: hydro, solar PV, wind and nuclear power.
Nuclear power is the only one of these that is not weather-dependent.
Nuclear power has high reliability and generates close-to-zero emissions. The high
capital cost of traditional large-scale reactors may make them unfeasible in Australia
but the advent of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) with their lower capital cost and an
operating life of up to 80 years is likely to make them a game-changer in Australia."

Thank you, Shadow Minister. It would be helpful if you were to supply the name of the author, or the Submission number. Since I (Noel Wauchope) wrote that aricle, many more have been published on the Parliamentary Committee's website.
