Mining & Energy
“What’s our fundamental position? Right from the get-go that has been for the world to decarbonise and all options have to be on the table. And we’ve always been proponents of a technology agnostic approach to decarbonisation, and that’s really what we’re advocating for, as opposed to saying we’re advocating specifically for nuclear” Mike Henry, CEO, BHP Group Ltd
