Nuclear energy is a hotly contested topic for the upcoming election, with both sides of politics looking for a plan that enables Australia to hit net zero emissions by 2050 while maintaining an affordable, reliable energy supply.

All these questions - and more - are answered in this week's podcast with energy expert Alison Reeve, and host Kat Clay.
