The fossil fuel industry are the ones who wanted nuclear energy because it would cement centralised baseload style energy in Australia, and require significant investment in maintaining coal and building gas based energy in Australia for the next 20 years.
In a country with so much sun and windswept areas...we can utilize those at less expense to our pockets along with less cost to the environment. Only one planet earth...got to do our bit to look after it.

However, even if we built one. No state would like to be first in the experiment. It will also be very expensive to get the first one running.
