Peter Dutton is doubling down on his nuclear spin with the Murdoch press. Other MSM is buying in, so the nuclear fantasy has become political reality.

Actually you might want to google red hydrogen, japanese have built the most stable gas cooled fission reactor that produces hydrogen rather efficiently. They've run several to destruction tests and actually self-stabilised, maybe you could cover that story.........or are you politically partial.....but hey what about hydroelectric, if selling yellow cake is ok but using it isnt.

Same as former Qld Labor premier captain ANNA BLIGH sold all of Qld's fracking gas to a private company to the point where the federal government had to step in and change the contract to leave some for us Australians.

With both engineering and science degrees and worked for a time in the nuclear industry in the early 1970s. Nuclear power is both safe enough and for countries without resources, nuclear is the only option. For Australia the renewable resources are such that nuclear power would never make a profit. The much cheaper than nuclear, coal fired power production is struggling to make profit due to renewable taking much of the profit.

@Robo67-24 3 ай бұрын

@Revolutions1200 2 ай бұрын

Renewables taking much of the profit, or much of the investment and subsidies?

@dan2304 2 ай бұрын

@@Revolutions1200 Subsidies for fossil fuels exceed those for renewables, as we don't have nuclear but the mining industry does receive subsidies so mining uranium does receive subsidies. As for investment and funding, everything competes with every thing else. Where renewables have an advantage over nuclear, the build can be staged producing returns early, funding the rest of the build. Nuclear takes years of production to just break even. Base load power makes profit at periods of high demand. Even storage that supplied that demand peak would kill that profit. No matter which system is used redundancy is required (storage, peaking gas etc) for reliability and redundancy costs. I am not antinuclear, but for Australia it is much lower cost to go distributed renewable and storage with some gas backup. Where nuclear in Australia will work is for metal smelting where reliable 24/7 power is required. Instead of shipping the ore overseas.

We also have the highest electricity retail price on the NEM. Our whole sale price is one of the lowest, but because of all the additional infrastructure to support renewables, eg, big battery and standby fossil fuel generators, the retail price is jacked. The percentage we pay for poles and wires is also high because we have to pay to get those HV lines to remote renewable generators. Another hidden cost is the Federal government Large Scale Renewable Energy Target Scheme [LRET) and its LGC. Might what to look that up on the internet. LRET is what makes renewable energy viable and, yes, also jacks up our electricity bill.

I don't think the tech is the problem with SMRs per say. The problem is that the u235 needs to be refined to a higher grade for SMRs (lower or higher dependent on SMR). With the current shortage of uranium it is being bought up by China and to a lesser level Russia to use, so Khazikstan as the largest producer has contracts to sell into those markets first. This is not to say SMRs will ever be viable but that the situation isn't black and white as "they don't work". This is thought to be part of the reason Gates's Terra Power project has stalled since they can't get the enriched uranium (HALEU).

What and you think destroying our coast with wind farm subsidy money laundering scams are a better idea?

Why arnt we using the desert for sand battery power storage 🤔

Imagine, for a fraction of the cost and time we can expand the power grid (needed for nuclear anyway), to connect distributed renewables sites and allowing more redundancy from outages for the ever more frequent “ natural” disasters we face annually. Include in that fractional amount, R and D, renewables development, energy storage, generation, recycling…Tangible results by 2030 is entirely doable. But the real kicker will be the comparative cost per kilowatt to the consumer between nuclear and renewables. The Libs being the master financial managers and Murdoch capitalists will have fun justifying that, particularly as renewable power is already cost competitive with coal and gas.

If nuclear plants are installed at former coal plants you won't need new transmission, renewables need new transmission.

America has cut submarine production, so our subs will be delayed even further, Dutty says the yanks use small nukes in there subs so we can use that tech, he needs a job in a Batman movie as the Joker

Love nuclear, safer and cleaner than coal, and it makes a degree of sense with this country's ore resources and tectonic stability....30 years ago. Not only has the ship wel and truly sailed (especially with the build time on a new reactor), but I wouldn't trust the LNP to deliver nuclear energy without comprehensively botching it

They are very happy to get a reactor for their military, but you can't have one.

My electorate of Fairfax is keen for a reactor I assume, my local member being Ted O'Brien 😳 Anyone catch ABC730 last night? 😂

Which will come first, the subs or the reactors? Don’t hold your breath 😂

Renewables need a trillion dollars to be spent on new transmission and batteries whereas nuclear on former coal power station sites won't need that.

The trillion dollar estimate is for complete decarbonisation of the economy (green steel, hydrogen exports, EVs), not just replacing our ageing coal plants. When Net Zero Australia released that data, they also said it would be more expensive to achieve complete decarbonisation with nuclear.

Aukus was always about a conclusion between mining, US, UK and australian government this includes the labor party. how it works is uk and us has to stop dumping their nuclear waste at sea. they need a dump were they can dump their NW that is not near them. they have been buoyed by the NO vote were australians were so easily duped, so selling nuclear should not be so hard. the uranium companies have been pushing for this for many years because they also have waste and want to sell uranium. this will force government to buy massive amounts of US treasury bonds and further make australia a debt slave to the US and prop up the dying US dollar. i would guess in 10 years between subs, power stations, uni courses and NW dumps about 2 trillion in debt to the US. 60% of the work will go to US and 30% UK companies and pay no tax. its a win win all round for the UK and US. Once this massive debt is established it will be easy to roll out CBDC's.
