I know people don’t like discussing things like this, because they say it’s ‘politics’, and they don’t like conflict. But putting politics to one side, I’m genuinely curious how people can genuinely believe nuclear power is a good idea for Australia? Pretend all parties agree with it, ditch the team sports. Given that not only does it not add up in any way you look at it, but it would also create massive destruction to our energy system and destroy our action against climate change? All while costing an absolute fortune, we’d literally be paying hundreds of billions of dollars to destroy our own country? We have a HUGE advantage with renewables over the rest of the world. Why on Earth would we sell the family silver instead to buy in eye-wateringly expensive technology from somewhere else?
