One of the key issues of the upcoming federal election is whether or not Australians want nuclear reactors as part of the energy mix.

Peter Dutton is all for nuclear, but Anthony Albanese wants renewables.

Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy Ted O’Brien told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "An independent analysis has been done by Frontier Economics."

"They've compared the cost of Labor's pathway to get to a net-zero grid by 2050 to the Coalition's one, which includes nuclear and it says that the Coalition's pathway is $263 billion cheaper."

"So, it's basically 44% cheaper to get to a net zero grid," Shadow Minister O'Brien said.
