It can't help to fix the issue now because it takes 20 years to build a functional plant IF you have the local skill and regulatory framework to design, build and operate them. It would take us 30 years because we have none of that. We can roll out gigawatts of solar, wind, batteries and hydro energy storage in significantly less time. These technologies require no new framework and the engineering is well understood.
Nuclear bombs are a significant step from nuclear power. The engineering of the equipment to refine the fuel alone is difficult and requires huge amounts of capital and manpower to develop, let alone that required for the bombs or the delivery systems. Australia doesn't have the budget or the capability to build nuclear plants let alone nuclear weapons.
