Jump To Comment: 1 2At the moment it appears there is no direct mention of fast track approval for nuclear power in the Planning and Infrastrurture Act, though it is likely that it could be introduced at the last minute through an amendment before the public have a chance to notice.
I would suggest that we all keep vigilant of any maneovers in that regard.
The issue of 'Core energy' is mentioned, but nuclear energy is not directly alluded to.
It could allow quite easily for nuclear energy, but again this issue is not directly alluded to.
The national interest is repeated many times and we can assume therefore when fossil fuel levels hit crisis point that it will be a goer. yes.
"the types of infrastructure to be covered by the new strategic consent process are listed in a new Seventh schedule to the 2000 planning act and include environmental,energy and transport infrastructure."
not much to go on , and again:
"This bill extends that process to projects of strategic importance . in addition , infrastructure being provided by other statutory bodies and private promoters will now also be subject to a single stage process. this will cover core enrgy, environmental and transport infrastructure."
