Nationals Senators Push for Australia to Embrace Coal and Nuclear Power All five Nationals senators are pushing their Coalition colleagues in the Morrison government to invest in nuclear generators, coal-fired power stations, as well as carbon capture and storage. Led by Senators Bridget McKenzie and Matt Canavan, the Nationals proposed an amendment on Thursday that would allow Australia’s green bank, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), to invest in gas and loss-making energy projects. If successful, the bill would mark the end of Australia’s ban on nuclear energy generation, which has been maintained for over 22 years. The ban has made Australia the only G20 country without a nuclear power station, despite being the world’s third-largest uranium producer and owning 33 percent of the world’s uranium deposits.
