What is Kate's stance on nuclear energy?
Answer
Nuclear energy is too expensive, too slow, and not the best solution for cutting emissions or lowering power bills. That’s what experts say—and it’s what Kate is hearing from the community.
The Coalition’s nuclear plan is a direct hit on the thousands of families in Gilmore who’ve invested in rooftop solar to take control of their energy costs. Their scheme would force locals to pay more on their power bills to cover the costs of nuclear power stations built by multinational corporations—projects that wouldn’t deliver a single kilowatt until the 2040s.
Kate believes we need:
- Smart, local energy solutions—like batteries, electrification and distributed renewables
- Certainty for households and businesses, not another energy backflip
- Practical climate action that delivers jobs and lower bills now, not in 20 years
The people of Gilmore are leading the clean energy transition. Kate backs them—not corporate interests.
