Bruce Wymond interviewed by Chris Kenny, Sky News

24th March 2025, The Kenny Report, Chris Kenny, Sky News
C2N Australia Director Bruce Wymond pushes for a transition from coal to nuclear over the current renewables-only approach. “It is a matter of when, looking at a site, there are so many metrics that are similar for both a coal-fired power station and a nuclear power station,” Mr Wymond said. “You need the water supply for the steam turbines, you need the grid connection point, you need a labour force and a community nearby and our coal power station plants … have those characteristics.”

The True Cost of Nuclear Energy | Aidan Morrison

Australia’s energy future hangs in the balance as nuclear power emerges as a contender against renewables, challenging long-held cost assumptions. The CSIRO’s GenCost report, criticised for underestimating nuclear’s lifespan (30 years versus 60–100 years globally), low capacity utilisation (53% versus 80–90%), and inflated uranium costs, may skew comparisons. Meanwhile, renewables, though celebrated for declining costs, conceal expenses like offshore wind, extensive storage, and transmission needs to ensure reliability across decades of variable weather—costs often absent from models like AEMO’s Integrated System Plan, which prioritizes government renewable targets over independent analysis.

Gerard Holland lays out the staggering cost of renewable energy at ARC Australia

“Gold is not the most valuable commodity in the world…ENERGY IS”. Australia, like much of the Western world, is set to undergo an energy transition in pursuit of climate goals. Fossil fuel infrastructure is being rapidly replaced by renewable technologies with the promise that this will lead us to a better, cleaner future. But will it? In this speech from ARC Australia, Gerard Holland looks in detail at the realities of energy transition, and demonstrates that the current path Australia is on is equivalent to economic self-harm, with sacrifices being made in reliability, security, abundance and density. With the poorest among us likely to be the ones who pay the price for our ‘green’ agenda, Gerard urges that we reconsider the course we are on.” November 1, 2024.

An inconvenient truth – net zero won’t save the environment… So what will? | Bjorn Lomborg

“In an effort to minimise the effects of climate change, countries in the developed world are chasing net-zero at all costs, causing high energy prices and reduced energy consumption. The problem? In this video, Bjorn Lomborg explains how, across the world, it is countries with the highest energy consumption that create the most wealth, and it is those with the most wealth that are most able to care for the environment. By enacting policies that reduce energy availability and increase cost, the ‘net-zero’ agenda is preventing the very thing it aims to achieve.” February 22, 2025.

Nuclear Power in the 21st Century – IAEA

“Energy is the engine of economic development and prosperity. Growing populations and expanding industries need more and more of it. But can energy power modern economies, without heating the planet or polluting our air? Nuclear power is one option. It currently produces about 11 percent of the world’s electricity, while releasing almost no greenhouse gases or air pollutants.” November 2, 2017.

The Dual Challenge: Energy and Environment | Scott Tinker | TEDxUTAustin

“The world faces two important and interrelated challenges. Affordable and reliable energy for all, and protecting the environment. The energy-environment challenge is not simple, but it is solvable if we understand and address the complex fabric of energy security, scale of energy demand, physics of energy density, distribution of energy resources, interconnectedness of the land, air, water and atmosphere, and the extreme disparity in global wealth and economic health. The truth is that there are no good and bad, clean and dirty, renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. They all have benefits, and they all have challenges. Climate change is an important issue, but it is not the only environmental issue. Solar and wind are important low carbon solutions, but they are only part of the solution. We must put our best minds to the task of addressing the dual challenge, working together to better the world.” May 19, 2022.

Is the CSIRO’s coal analysis neutral? | Zoe Hilton

“Politicians love telling Australians that renewables are the cheapest form of energy, and none more than energy minister Chris Bowen. The source he cites is GenCost, the CSIRO’s annual report on generation technology cost estimates, which claims to be policy and technology-neutral. But is the CSIRO neutral when it comes to coal? Australia needs unbiased advice from our technical experts if we are to understand the costs of different levels of emissions reduction. Watch the video to see how we fix the CSIRO’s flawed assumptions about coal and show that coal, not renewables, is the cheapest form of new energy in Australia.” December 6, 2024.
