Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Stop what? When the NSW interconnector and goyder south are complete in a couple of years, SA will blow straight past 100% renewables. You're 20 years too late to building nuclear in Australia and your prime example to do so (the french) started to build theirs in the late 50s. And good on them! The...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

I don’t get what’s so bad about literally just legalising it? No one says as soon as it’s legal that we’re mandated to build any, it’s literally just changing a political decision made nearly 30 years ago I think the key there is in the process. There's a big difference in it not being a big deal l...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Why are you even on this forum? I live here and you don't. You left Australia to live in the EU which is run by a bunch of lunatics like Guy Verhofstadt and Ursula Von Leyen. Stay in your lane and butt out of our affairs. Nobody made you the judge of who can comment. Talk to the mods if you think t...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

The coal lobby doesn't want to lose its income to wind and solar but happy to accommodate a uranium rod.

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

I'm not anti nuclear. I have a simple question. If the chosen route from here is to go nuclear, what on earth is the policy between now and in an absolute minimum 15 years from now when the first reactor could be commissioned? The answer is burn more coal and gas. And when the cost comparison is don...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

I thought the questions were too skewed to consider answering whatever short survey I saw. I have no problem with nuclear power being legalised/decriminalised/allowed. If a nuclear power station were to be built, I have no problem with it being in an appropriate industrial zone near me, but the que...
