Energy Policy
Australians Unified believe that the right energy mix will drive prices down and will continue the energy transition, this involves shifting from old fossil fuel-based systems to clean grean sustainable, low-carbon energy sources. The Key strategies will span technological, structural, financial, and social aspects of a more prosperous future. A mix of coal, gas, hydro, and renewables is considered the most cost-effective energy solution, low emitting coal and neuclear programs are what a more competitive business need into the next generation.
We also believe clean green coal refineries and power stations are the low emition future rather than shipping our coal to countires that emit high polution, this will never be the way forward as we are just shifting the blame elsewhere. The world is also in a low carbon state so climate change is definitly a real factor to a healtier future for our planet.
Success depends on integrated approaches across technology, finance, equity, and governance. Investments need to scale and sustain over decades, focusing on renewables, efficiency, storage, and electrification. Community participation, global collaboration, and stakeholder alignment are essential for a just, reliable, and resilient energy transition. with the development of the Auskus plan we need newclear energy as by the time we get these subs they need new powerplans which would cement the plan for neuclear power.
The right Energy mix means cheaper power for all.
The Australians Unified believes Australia needs a balanced energy mix to provide affordable, clean, and reliable 24/7 power.
Their plan includes introducing zero-emissions nuclear energy, which has been shown to reduce electricity costs and emissions globally.
This means the current energy mix of renewables, gas, and coal will transition to a future mix of renewables, gas, and nuclear.
Zero-emissions nuclear energy will work alongside renewables and more hydro electrical plants and a mix of gas to lower prices and ensure consistent power as we move toward decarbonization.
New clear power stations a must
Australia is already a nuclear nation
Australia has operated a nuclear reactor in Sydney since 1958, producing life-saving medicine. The country has a highly competent and globally recognized nuclear safety regulator. As part of the landmark AUKUS agreement with the United States and the United Kingdom, Australia is adopting nuclear-propelled submarines, becoming the seventh nation to possess them. The other six nations already have advanced nuclear industries. If Australia can operate a reactor for medical purposes, procure nuclear submarines for defense, and export uranium for zero-emissions energy, Australians should have the right to utilize zero-emissions nuclear energy to lower power prices. Additionally, with aging nuclear power banks in the submarines, replacements will eventually be necessary.
A Federal Coalition Government will initially develop two establishment projects using either small modular reactors or modern larger plants such as the AP1000 or APR1400. They will start producing electricity by 2035 (with small modular reactors) or 2037 (if modern larger plants are found to be the best option).
The Australians unified believes Australia must have a balanced energy mix to deliver cheap, clean and consistent 24/7 power.
It’s common sense to have a balanced energy mix and our plan is to introduce zero-emissions nuclear energy which has proven to get electricity prices and emissions down all over the world.
This means our energy mix today of renewables + gas + coal will shift to a future energy mix of renewables + gas + nuclear.
Zero-emissions nuclear energy will complement renewables and gas to get prices down and keep the lights on as we decarbonise.
