Australian Energy Minister criticizes Coalition's energy plan, warning of 49% electricity shortfall and higher household bills due to nuclear power.

Australian Energy Minister Chris Bowen has criticized the Liberal-National Coalition's energy proposal, warning it could lead to a 49% electricity shortfall by 2035. A report indicates that the Coalition's plan to introduce nuclear power could raise household bills by an average of $665 annually, with families potentially facing increases of $972. The report suggests nuclear costs are 1.5 to 3.8 times higher than current generation, advocating for a focus on renewables instead.
