US energy secretary Chris Wright expressed strong support for Australia to participate more actively in uranium supply and nuclear energy development at an international rightwing summit. Despite Australia being the fourth-largest uranium producer, nuclear power remains banned. Wright also highlighted the potential of shale gas and criticized the pursuit of net zero emissions by 2050, viewing it as a method of increasing government control over individual freedoms. He urged collaboration between the US and Australia for energy security, pointing out that a simplified view of energy as 'clean' or 'dirty' obscures reality.
Wright called the aim of reaching net zero by 2050 sinister, arguing it grows government power while limiting personal freedoms.
He suggested Australia, as a leading uranium producer, should consider expanding into nuclear energy.
