Anthropogenic climate change poses an immediate existential threat to humanity. We must accelerate our development of renewable energy sources.
The Australian Sex Party will:
- Subsidise the development of renewable energy industries, including established industries such as wind and solar.
- Push for alternatives to burning coal for base load power.
As Australia transitions from coal energy to renewable energy production, we need a safe and clean alternative for maintaining base load power.
A base-load cannot be economically achieved in the short term through renewable sources such as solar panels and wind turbines. Given Australia’s stable geographic profile and the resources available, nuclear power may be the best source of base-load power during the transition to a more robust renewable energy system. The Australian Sex Party will consider all options for replacing coal burning as Australia's main source of power and advocate for further nuclear investment.
