Don't believe either argument? Neither do we.
Inspired by the immense success of their first collaboration with the UQ Science Faculty, the organisers from the UQDS who brought you "AI: The Public Debate" are back. But this time, things are getting hot. Nuclear hot.
With energy policy currently one of the hottest topics in Australia , this debate will breathe new life into the controversial issue of Australia's involvement with nuclear power.
You'll be able to hear the perspective of renowned academics and researchers, as they battle it out to try and convince you whether or not "Australia should embrace nuclear power".
