Comparing carbon-free baseload to carbon-free baseload
The nuclear debate here in Australia lacks fair comparison to other competing technologies. It includes figures that are not applicable in the Australian context and omissions, including fair comparisons with alternative technologies.

We were pleased to present our position at one of the live hearings and to be quoted in the Courier Mail last weekend.

Following the announcement of $2/kg Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive (HPTI), the Treasury ran a public consultation about the scheme.
