Renewables vs nuclear: Chris Bowen and Ted O’Brien debate Australia’s energy future | 7.30

In Australia both sides of politics are headed to the election with policies committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. But the details of how they plan to achieve that outcome are very different.
The government has a large suite of policies aimed at building renewables to 82% of Australia's power generation by 2030, supported by gas, with 10,000 kilometres of new transmission lines, and policies to promote electrification and curtail industrial emissions.
Meanwhile the Coalition has its suite of policies - an energy mix of less renewables, more gas, and a major new proposal to introduce nuclear power generation to Australia.
7.30 brings the two ministers together for a debate about Australia's future.
Chris Bowen is the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Ted O'Brien is the Shadow Minister.
