Reported at www.abc.net.au: Grace Stanke, a former Miss America and nuclear fuels engineer, is leading a pro-nuclear energy campaign funded by Dick Smith, aiming to address misconceptions in coal towns across Australia, starting with Collie, WA.

The campaign comes in response to federal opposition leader Peter Dutton’s proposal to transition coal-fired power stations to nuclear plants, with mixed reactions from the community about the nuclear message.

Attendees expressed varying opinions on the viability of nuclear energy for local job transitions and the effectiveness of Stanke’s presentation, highlighting both support and skepticism regarding her advocacy.
