richwalker That is just so wrong ! Frontier use a $10k /kw for nuclear Current costs in UK & EU are 25k/kw -$30k/kw Frontiers cost are amoratise for 50 years & only report to 2050 -Half the cost is missing ! 14GW by 2050 ? Where do you think we are ? Only China or Korea build that fast !

David Turver IMO Because you are looking at spot price Roughly 1/3 of gas is sold at spot price 1/3 Medium term & 1/3 long term. 2022 spike will be felt in the market for 5 years at least !

Leopold Aschenbrenner Nuclear energy? Any AI system primarily dependent on nuclear energy will be hopelessly uncompetitive by 2040 or sooner By the mid-2030s 24/7 'solar baseload' will be 30-40% cheaper than than the cheapest nuclear energy (China) and much cheaper than anything in the USA or Europe

Nuclear for Australia 65% of France's nuclear power is from nuclear power plant built last century . It may be a critical part of the energy mix but there must be a reason that only 3 reactors are being built in the western world & one of those started in 1987 !

Nuclear for Australia China Has more than 1.4 Billion people & it is a critical part of their energy mix . Australia has 26 million and wouldn't see a single kw until 2040s ! We have a plan without it & no plan with it ! There is no benefit to Australia .

Stokdog The area blackout caused by the Callide explosion extended from Cairns down into NSW . That looks larger than Spain

Nuclear for Australia Affordable ? At 25 times the cost of solar ? Reliable , yes , as reliable as renewables . Emissions free ? If you don't count the 20 years of emissions from coal until it is available, yes . Critical part ? Nuclear built 50 years ago is . Renewables are more critical today !

Geoff Wilson Australian Labor Anthony Albanese Jim Chalmers MP Affects 0.5 percent of Australians, only those with $3 million plus in super. Oh, but how we should vote to protect them! The rich sure do have thin skins.

Nyunggai Warren Mundine AO Wazza, get it right. The Spanish authorities have said the outage was caused by a grid disconnect. It wouldn't matter if the power was renewa, coal, or nuclear, the outage would still have occurred. Good try at another scare tactic though. BTW, what do you get out of this crap.

Nuclear for Australia IMO $100 billion like Hinkley point is not affordable. Nuclear is no more reliable than renewables. In the western world, where is was built 50 yrs ago, it is a critical part of the energy mix. This century, renewables have have eaten its lunch! It can't low emissions for 20 yrs

Prof Mick Wilson 1 You are kidding me ! Uhlmann's hack job he did on EVs was a disgrace . Five minutes of research is all it takes to prove that 99 % of his story was bullshit . If he is the best you can do , you are in trouble !

A commercial solar panel, the size and mass of a sheet of plywood, can generate 720 W at peak. It takes 9 of them to produce as much electricity as the average American household consumes. That's the "massive" space and materials requirements of solar - 9 sheets of plywood per

With the Coalition losing the election, the 7 promised nuclear reactors will now never be built. Which coincidentally is the same as if the Coalition had won the election.

#Nuclear power is gone from Australia. With 2031 Coalition's first chance back in power Australia will have gone completely to renewables before any nuclear power could come online in Australia.

John Mann @jm493.bsky.social Kamil Balcerzyk If they see storage being exhausted in a few hours, they will forecast very high prices for that time, which will encourage storage to save energy for those high prices. This will in turn increase the present price which will encourage gas to enter the market.

It must seem unfair to the #LNP that having spent years packing the party with conservative hardliners they discover there's no votes there.

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline. That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production. Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.

For the last 15 years, lot of talk about small modular reactors. But solar and wind power much cheaper. bnnbloomberg.ca/business/techn…

Tom Playford No It doesn't mean that all ! SA has 3.4 GW of gas generation now ,more than enough to meet demand . On top of that you have another 1 GW of storage which will double next year .

Geoff Wilson Australian Labor Phillip Coorey Jim Chalmers MP Allegra Spender I think it is a great idea ! Why should you be able to avoid tax for the wealthiest of your clients ? Closing a loophole like this is common sense . I have no problem with you maximising their returns , but those on incomes under $100 k should not have to subsidise them !
