Clean Energy Council research has found 80% of respondents to an Australian-wide survey support rooftop solar and 69% favour solar farms over 35% showing preference for nuclear power generation.
Melbourne-headquartered renewable energy industry body Clean Energy Council (CEC) research has found 80% of respondents to an Australian-wide survey support rooftop solar.
Solar farms followed in favour at 69% and almost 70% of participants expressed belief there is a need to build more renewable energy projects in preference to nuclear (35%) or coal (33%) generation.
The case for nuclear power generation in Australia was also put in question by the release of a federal parliamentary select committee nuclear inquiry interim report.
Focussed on whether nucear power generation could be rolled out in an acceptable timeframe and how affordable it would be, when compared to alternatives such as renewables, the evidence garnered so far in the committee’s research said no on both counts.
