University of Adelaide chancellor Kevin Scarce says Australia must consider adding nuclear power to its energy mix. He says nuclear energy could potentially provide more reliable and affordable baseload power than renewable energy sources, and without any carbon emissions. Scarce adds that the nation needs a "mature and bipartisan" national discussion on the issue of nuclear power, but concedes that this will not occur in the current political climate. Scarce headed South Australia’s royal commission on the nuclear fuel cycle, and describes the state government’s failure to act on his report as a "missed opportunity".
