The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in a recent submission to the government's green paper on climate change.
The report in the Australian notes Australia's high per-capita emissions, our elevated reliance on coal and the role nuclear power can play to address both in the context anticipated emission reduction goals.
Many of the 350,000 businesses represented by the ACCI are small to medium sized enterprises. They will not be able to relocate off-shore, are not able to invest in low carbon technologies, can not pass on higher prices to consumers, but face the simple threat of going bust.
In the report, the opposition's position is that they would like nuclear power to be considered, but add any consideration must be bipartisan.
