Australia wants to say goodbye to all environmentally harmful industries in the next 26 years in order to achieve the goal of 'net zero' set out in the Paris climate agreement. Efforts focus on generating energy from clean sources — primarily sun and wind. However, the opposition is relying on another technology — namely nuclear power. Opposition leader Peter Dutton has already identified 7 locations where the future nuclear reactors should be located.
