The residents of Murrumbidgee Council area are being called on to voice their opinion on the idea of establishing a nuclear power generator in their council area. In an effort to explore diverse energy solutions, the community is invited to participate in an online survey aimed at understanding their appetite for nuclear power. Murrumbidgee Council General Manager John Scarce said it seeks to understand public sentiment regarding the possible integration of nuclear power into the local energy landscape. Mr Scarce said the concept would be contingent upon dismantling existing renewable energy infrastructure, including solar and wind farms, at the end of their operational life. “The land would then be reclaimed for agricultural purposes, aligning with sustainability and resource optimisation goals,” he said. The survey is designed as a precursor to gathering more information on the idea, with a view to undertaking a more formal poll in the future. "Our community's energy future is a shared responsibility, and it's crucial that we consider a diverse range of options to meet our needs sustainably,” said Mr Scarce. “By launching this survey, we are empowering Murrumbidgee residents to contribute their voices to the discussion on energy generation. We recognise the importance of transparency and inclusivity in decision-making processes, and we look forward to hearing from community members”. The survey is now closed.
