Farmland is important again.

Anyone with any sense: Australia is a rich country. We can afford it.

The Greens only ever get ~10% of the primary vote. I have a theory that if they went pro nuclear they would get at least 15% - on the basis that they would lose maybe half of their current base, but take a good chunk of pro nuclear labor and some lib voters.

Damn right I explained how it's completely unintelligible. (read more in the 🔗 below)

Geez how desperate are the anti-nukes getting. The researchers, journalists and anyone retweeting this should be embarrassed. I say more of it; only highlights how dishonest they are.

💡IEA: Nuclear is cheaper than solar or wind + storage in the EU in 2040 In its latest report the International Energy Agency shows that new nuclear in EU in 2040 is more cost-effective than solar or onshore wind paired with 8-hour batteries, when compared at the same discount rate (WACC) A 🧵 1/5

Simon Holmes a Court’s Climate 200 are funding 35 candidates “committed to science-based approach to climate” None of these candidates will tell you why they ignore the proven science of nuclear energy. These points may give you a clue - Australian Tax payers are funding

"U.S. states are leading a new wave of investment in advanced #nuclear energy, aiming to boost energy #security, support industrial #growth, and revitalize local economies." No other energy source tackles so many problems at once quite like nuclear 🤷 nationalinterest.org/blog/energy-wo…

For the ABC, a nearly 8× nuclear power project cost increase would be more than enough justification to line up endless commentary demanding immediate abandonment.

Constructively, Australian Labor.

I’m old enough to remember the 2019 climate change election that the Coalition won.

Let them make fools of themselves #auspol

Just a snapshot from their 'about' page to get a sense of things. Fighting colonisation, white supremacy and capitalism and patriarchy are part of it. "Taking our democracy back from big business." Kinda odd for an outfit trying to save Rio Tinto's aluminium holdings. 5/

I trust Adam views all those renewables only lobby groups with the same level of doubt and skepticism.

You can’t keep expecting more than 10-12% of the vote without changing yourselves.

Nuclear energy is as inevitable as gay marriage always was. Bigoted outdated folk just causing delays.

News flash... Turnbull has cashed out of a couple of pumped hydro projects. Sold to AGL. Do they stack up economically? Is this the market at work? Or is this what carefully treading through the maze of subsidies delivers to smart players? 1/ reneweconomy.com.au/turnbull-sells…

Sandy Ridge - a successful radioactive material disposal facility which secured First Nation approval - is only 'toxic' for the kind of life-long activist who's traded on the plight of Traditional Owners his entire career.

Condoning targeted bullying of young activists. Good look... Keep it up Will Shackel. Clearly hitting the right nerves.

I had a reply from Jackie Trad, from Clean Energy Council in the Financial Review yesterday, presenting the case that renewables are definitely coming, and Eraring's extension is just a 'stop gap'. I have some thoughts. 1/ afr.com/policy/energy-…
