Coalition's Nuclear Plan to Increase Australian CO2 Emissions by 1.7 Billion Tonnes
Analysis shows Australia's Coalition party's nuclear-focused energy plan would generate 1.7 billion extra tonnes of CO2 by 2050 compared to Labor's renewable energy plan, primarily due to slower coal plant closures and less electrification, jeopardizing Australia's climate commitments.
