Greens for Nuclear Energy Australia

We are a group of Australian Greens members and supporters working publicly & internally to change the party's policy on nuclear power. Unofficial Group.

Belgium unnecessarily shutting down 10% of their country's electricity. Safe, ultra low emission electricity that would help given the climate and energy crises. Will be replaced with fossil fuels.

The decision was pushed by the Greens energy minister.

Fantastic film from our comrades in the UK.

More discussion about #nuclear energy in Australia.

We need nuclear energy to help stabilise our #Climate & reduce our ecological footprint.

Check out this film on why more Greens are changing their mind of nuclear.

An excellent film from our fellow #Greens in the UK, including @TeaTrmn from the Finnish Greens, the first Greens party to officially adopt a position in favour of nuclear energy.

'Too often we see the debate stuck in putting renewables & nuclear against each other,.... we should be making sure we efficiently drive the use of fossil fuels down as quickly as possible. In this challenge we need all sustainable tools: wind, solar & nuclear.' - @AtteHarjanne

Historic moment in the Green movement.

Finnish Greens unequivocally endorse #nuclear energy. Both licence extensions and new builds.

This is what evidence based policy looks like.

“This is a historical moment in the history of the green movement, as we are the first green party in the world to officially let go of anti-nuclearism.” - @TeaTrmn

[Stand Up for Nuclear @StandUp4Nuclear]

2 BILLION METRIC TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS ARE AVOIDED EACH YEAR due to the operation of our 🌏 nuclear fleet, 441 reactors.

For context, in '20 the EU emitted 2.5 billion metric tons of CO2!

Nuclear generates 10% of the🌏energy & 30% of the🌏ZERO-CARBON energy!

There is a petition to federal parliament to legalise #nuclear power in Australia.

Love this video & its title.

Reframing how we think about energy is CRITICAL to achieving a sustainable future. Our ability to produce vast amounts of energy improves the lives of all, especially women.🧵

@alexjago51 @DrewPavlou We hope not too long :(

We need clean energy asap to stabilise our climate.

Excellent thread.

Thanks for your work @GeorgeMonbiot

1. As Germany reactivates its coal-burning power stations in response to the double whammy of Putin’s threat to gas supplies and the closure of its last nuclear reactors, please remember that the harms falsely attributed to nuclear can be correctly attributed to coal. Thread/

@9Investigation @Channel9 @9Now If we had let the small minority that fear vaccines dictate policy we would still be deep in the crisis of the Covid Pandemic.

Yet we have allowed a small minority that fear #nuclear dictate energy policy & now we are deep in the #ClimateCrisis.

Let's put science before fear

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Germany's plan to shut its nuclear power plants before the end of their lives was always irrational, as it meant replacing low-carbon electricity with fossil fuels. If the shutdown is now too late to reverse, it may also be a major strategic liability.

[Oscar Archer @OskaArcher]

Multi-gigawatt projects, decade+ timescales, over $18 billion in investment. Serious #CleanEnergy build, which sound unmistakably like #nuclear numbers.

[DJ LeClear (The Rad Guy) @ThatRadGuy5]

*situation update* Playing into and pushing a narrative of fear-mongering around the #ZaporizhzhiaNPP causes harm to public health and benefits Russia.

[IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ @iaeaorg]

#Ukraine informed IAEA that Russian forces took control of site of #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant; says safety systems of the plant’s six reactors had not been affected and there has been no release of radioactive material. Two people reported injured. https://t.co/XGl7nFUa9j

[Greens for Nuclear Energy Australia @NuclearGreenies]

@Emma_niDhulaing Do you have a source? Because Grossi's information came directly from the staff at the plant.

[Greens for Nuclear Energy Australia @NuclearGreenies]

@OskaArcher and to the @iaeaorg & @rafaelmgrossi.
