Australians support Nuclear Power!

Will Shackel is a young man who is making Australia a better place. By founding “Nuclear for Australia”, pushing for Australia to have clean, green, safe nuclear power as a source of critical base load energy.

His latest note to supporters:

Dear Peter,

First, I want to say a massive thank you. 

Last month, I asked for your help to fund major independent national polling on nuclear energy. Thanks to your generosity, we now have the results - and they send a clear message to politicians across Australia.

The Australian public is ready to have a serious conversation about nuclear energy. 

While Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claims that Australians don't support it, our new YouGov polling tells a very different story - including among his own voters: 

  • 63% of Australians believe Australia should consider nuclear power - including 48% of Labor voters.
  • 60% believe nuclear will be part of Australia’s future energy mix, up 13 percentage points on last year's polling.
  • 56% support removing restrictions so nuclear energy can be considered 
  • 57% lack confidence that current electricity options can meet Australia's growing demand 
  • 59% support developing nuclear power to strengthen Australia's energy sovereignty.
Nuclear for Australia. Go join up. Go support.
