New Zealand energy minister rejects nuclear power as energy option

New Zealand’s energy minister on Friday rejected an electricity company’s call to consider introducing nuclear power, saying it is not yet feasible for the country and goes against the government’s anti-nuclear policy.

Murray Jackson, the chief executive of Genesis Energy, urged New Zealand to “get on board” with nuclear technology so that it can take advantage of nuclear fusion reactors when they become available. “Nearly every developed country is now doing nuclear,” he said.
