Episode 34 | Will Shackel | The Nuclear Debate Australia Is AvoidingWhat happens when a 16-year-old takes on Australia’s energy debate?In this episode, we sit down with Will Shackel — the founder of Nuclear for Australia — who’s built a national movement pushing to lift the country’s nuclear ban.We tackle the big questions:Why is Australia the only G20 nation without nuclear power? Is fear driving policy? And are we ignoring one of the most reliable, low-emissions energy sources on the planet?From radiation myths (yes — the banana comparison) to jobs, costs, waste and energy security, this is a no-nonsense conversation about what’s fact, what’s fiction, and what’s at stake for Australia’s future.Plus — rapid fire: the biggest myths, political roadblocks, and what a realistic energy mix should actually look like.This is the nuclear debate Australia isn’t having… but should be.
