Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@disco1446 says : 3 eyed koala is fcking funny>> <<@meeranraees3183 says : Mr Akbar faqeer baloch CEO of general scientist globally peace first general scientific research development universal solar missile nuclear energy power technology digital ecosystem>> <<@sisiphas says : Look at the cost of snowy 2.0 billions over!!! Then does our esteemed leader believe that we won’t need (emissions free) power that can support the 24/7/365 power we need to power industry after 2035???? He is simply crazy as are my dimmer mates circulating three-eyed koala rubbish ‘cos ALP told ‘em!!>> <<@snozzybosch7503 says : Dutton stepped up last week and rolled the dice. Labour will be a minority givt next election, at the very least. One term usless as tits on a bull Albo🤞>> <<@Sam-ci6sl says : If you don't know, vote no>> <<@stephengrocott3917 says : Murray is very closely linked to lowbrow after all he is a moron>> <<@KingsleyThomson-j1w says : Albo and his followers are complete idiot's,,,,all the 32 countries that use nuclear power for their citizens are their people walking around with 2 heads and 3 eyes,,,,,,I don't think so !! Albo and Bowen and their followers have to be childish and use cartoons to scare everyone,,, goodbye Albo at next election,,,,😂😢>> <<@peterforsythe3643 says : Paul: it’s “New Clear” not “new Kew lar” (Otherwise well said and I’m on side with New Clear for Oz!)>> <<@Christian-yz1qu says : Time to educate the public about the real cost of nuclear energy: already back in the 1950s, nuclear power was almost six times more expensive than conventional energy and thus one of the most expensive forms of energy. And because safety requirements were significantly tightened in the years that followed due to incidents and accidents, the investment cost of nuclear power plants has not fallen over time but increased significantly. The few ongoing new construction projects in Europe and the US are plagued by delays and cost blowouts, such as Olkiluoto in Finland and Flamanville in France. Olkiluoto has been under construction for 18 years and Flamanville may possibly go online this year after 17 years of construction. It was initially budgeted at EUR 3.3 billion but is now expected to cost more than EUR 12 billion, after a delay of 12 years! Because of the investment cost incurred, these projects are multiple times more costly than would be economically sensible. Older nuclear power plants cannot compete economically with other energy sources and can only be kept online with subsidies. The only way to keep them running is by nationalising the commercial risks, which means slugging the taxpayer, as is happening in Europe and the US. Recent studies have concluded that renewables such as wind and solar are many times more cost-efficient and that a complete change-over to renewables is technically possible and economically cost-efficient. Furthermore, recyclable wind turbine blades are already being installed and solar panels can also be recycled. The IEA has found that nuclear power plants are much too expensive compared with renewables and therefore uneconomical. Small modular reactors are a pipedream. Companies in the US have given up on them because they are not economically feasible. Nuclear energy accounted for a share of 15.1% of global energy generation in 1985. By the year 2021, that share had dropped to 9.8%. Renewables are being successfully rolled out in many advanced and apparently more mature, smarter and more educated countries than Australia. Apart from massive and incalculable delays and cost overruns, Australia has a growing problem of water scarcity, and water stress is growing with climate change. France has had to limit energy output from its nuclear reactors due to high river temperatures in a 2023 heatwave. All of this information is freely available on the Internet. Only if you are too lazy or unable to read do you have an excuse for not knowing any of this. The sole purpose of Dutton proposing seven nuclear power plants in Australia that will take much too long to build is for Australia to keep burning coal and gas for as long as possible, which will do absolutely nothing to lower people’s electricity prices any time soon. It will add massive amounts of additional carbon to the atmosphere and accelerate the warming of the climate. And because Australia will fail to meet its emissions reductions targets, our exports will be slugged with massive carbon border adjustment levies and lead to job losses and the gradual demise of our economy.>> <<@Bruski68. says : Well what exactly did you think they were going to do, it's not like they can defeat it on factual or economic grounds, so they had no option than to fall back on that tired old saw, of derision and scare mongering, Nuclear is the only way forward if we want to be a competitive, prosperous, and Sovereign country, of course that's the antithesis of what the Coalition government wants.>> <<@pantsgaming759 says : the commy left who are unwilling to compromise will loose it all at some point.>> <<@gbmarso8260 says : Why small? 1 pala verde in USA wound power Australia>> <<@SherylSchrantz says : Go away Albo!! Nobody believes your B/s..>> <<@alancotterell9207 says : I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to die from radiation poisoming. It is not a decent way to go. Scott Morrison would need a lot of religious freedom to control a major nuclear incident.>> <<@MelbourneHandyman says : Thats why we have 2:09 coal and gas powered electricity till nuclear>> <<@JonathanBriggs-q4u says : From the same lot who gave you stolen election. Who do you believe..>> <<@davidhepburn9328 says : Australia is fucked!!!>> <<@ozplasmic351 says : But Albo say's we can fry our eggs on the footpath 365 days a year from solar radiation in Australia?>> <<@TheRoswellCode says : Labor have a short half-life.>> <<@martyk7914 says : I hate the idea that I'm now paying $1000 a quarter for my electricity, and every summer and now winter, we're warned that there won't be enough power or gas to keep cool or warm!>> <<@awc900 says : Labor will learn that people are educated enough to see through it's juvenile BS.>> <<@Christian-yz1qu says : People in Australia who support nuclear haven't got a clue about the complexities of a nuclear power supply chain, its technical requirements, its costs, the unsolved problem of radioactive waste disposal, etc. There hasn't even been any consultation! For goodness sakes, people, use your brains - even if Dutton isn't using his! We have much, much better options, and we need them now, not in 10 to 20 years time! Dutton is the one using scare tactics, not Labor, his silly nuclear proposals simply don't stack up. If nuclear was such a brilliant solution, why didn't the liberals put it forward while they were in power? Because it is complete nonsense. The states will make sure it won't happen.>> <<@PsyllyViews says : instability or unreliability of the power grid results in the instability of the economy, that results to the instability of all household, which the country itself will be unstable eventually. Such scenario, politicians will ask for the necessary leverage of absolutely power to the govt or the people in govt, who devise the inevitable crises the chaos they been plotting for a long time and be given what they wanted all along and no one the wiser! That simple... and explain the ridiculous policies of labour. (they create the problem and to solve it with having more power or money to spend on with zero results!>> <<@bomad6459 says : Renewable energy will only make our bills more expensive as we are being pushed away from gas for homes. Labour government will make things expensive and cost of living worse>> <<@bomad6459 says : Renewable energy will only make our bills more expensive as we are being pushed away from gas for homes. Labour government will make things expensive and cost of living worse>> <<@edwardness7497 says : should ask people, do you support nuclear, and, would be ok having a plant in your electorate... then comes the, well, i like nuclear, but, I don't know about the effects of having one near me... now, the effects could be minute, but for the individual you're asking to have an informed opinion of sorts about whether they like nuclear or not, now has the same sort of information to say whether they're ok having one near them... which they're no longer sure about... so they support it, just not near them, because they don't know about it's effects... could compare it to a thousand other things people support, so long as it doesn't really effect them... this is what these polls show, how do you feel about something that you don't really know about... why are you agreeing, or strongly agreeing, or disagreeing for that matter, would prefer the qualitative break down compared the the quantitative, wouldn't take long to read, there weren't that many people polled...>> <<@edwardness7497 says : first poll was of, 1000 people... and the rest didn't say how many... the extrapolation is mind boggling...>> <<@edwardness7497 says : if you don't know... vote no :D>> <<@gmarshall1026 says : Albo and Labor renewables that's right has to be renewed every 10 - 12 years bring on nuclear>> <<@RichardHeath-du4uq says : Dutton has internalised the Trump playbook. He’s deployed the infamous Steve Bannon technique: “flood the zone with shit”. And the Murdoch empire is supporting it. People are DUMB.>> <<@MrDyhard says : It’s as plain as the nose on your face - this anti Nuclear campaign is a carbon copy of the Govt’s ‘Vote Yes’ campaign - this is the best proof that anyone needs that the Labor government is run by morons. They are incapable of learning from their mistakes.>> <<@cameronjohnston5748 says : When Magoo says it's 15 years off would work out right, because solar WILL be failing as it has about a 20 year life 25 years max, most people who have solar on their homes know about this when they installed it. Oh did I mention about the increase of the population by then. The simpson's, what a grownup way of dealing with an issue this important, typical of canberra, just doesn't think that far ahead of the election cycle.>> <<@kylejones403 says : Like how nuclear is a waste of tax payer money but snowy hydro with all its cost blowouts and still may not work is not ??>> <<@albertopascual3335 says : These Labor m…s are spreading lies about nuclear energy, which is the cleanest form energy. It is being used by all modern economies, except Australia led by these i….s>> <<@warrenedser1996 says : Remember, it is a new age and a new time of advancement in technology and nuclear is one of them. The countries in Europe are returning with a new outlook in the nuclear age with new technology where the waste is now electricity and only steam is pouring out. If albo had sat down at the beginning instead of spending those millions and billions of dollars and put it towards the future, and housing and other industries and companies and businesses after the lockdowns instead of spending it on his own imitative to please his corporate buddies - Now he is on a tantrum and waste time to using scare tactics only for him - nuclear, wind, and solar, and gas are resources that can work together to ensure that we are not in the dark and businesses may continue to support to growth and productivity for all.>> <<@paulchilds9137 says : On this rare occasion Labor is bullshitting more than Liberals/Sky with pictures of squirrels with three eyes due to nuclear. SKY is squealing like stuck pigs that Labor struck back once against their continual lies.>> <<@murraymclean9072 says : It's a renewable fantasy land.. We require a solid power supply..most of the world has nuclear power..the agreements that our pinocchio politicians were making in Paris, you know the capital of a country that runs on nuclear..grow up Australia.>> <<@guymoschella4066 says : We all know that liebor is full of shit , they can only come up with more bull shit . People have woken up to elbows crap . Great men and women make a country prosper , We have seen what weak men do to a country .>> <<@buddyjgollan8726 says : We need energy now I don't care what anyone builds it long as it provides power because I don't want blackouts and I want cheap energy too>> <<@murraynewton6512 says : The word is NUCLEAR - that’s NEW CLEAR not - NUKULAR FFS!! Yes we do need it,>> <<@malcansdell5778 says : Yeah scared of nuclear but lining up for more poison. LOL>> <<@johnrichardson9263 says : How many TRILLIONS are labor spending on something that will not work, I would rather see the coalition spend Trillions on something that does work.>> <<@1knightinbangkok946 says : You think nuclear power is expensive, wait till you see how much renewables will end up costing...>> <<@archipiratta says : Lol. Libs did the exact same thing! Have some of your own muck!>> <<@TheRoswellCode says : Adults don't grow a third eye due to radiation - it's their CHILDREN who can be born with deformities. Just goes to show how little Andrew Leigh knows about the subject.>> <<@joycelynbennetts says : Be quiet Albanese as you are still making a fool of your self as being ill informed.>> <<@johnmcdonald8943 says : Used around the world, we sell the uranium too. If Labor really believe nuclear was dangerous, it would had stopped selling it. Labor doesn’t do what is best for the Australian citizens, it only does what is best for its own power.>> <<@shannonwilson1416 says : Everyone putting labour down but both parties are going to make our bills higher. 1 nation will go back to coal>> <<@shannonwilson1416 says : I dont know why we are destroying this beautiful country for 1% when coal is all we need. We had no energy crisis>> <<@shannonwilson1416 says : So let me get this right. We are the only country in the top 20 who has no nuclear, so I ask you Albo how is the other 19 doing 🤦‍♂️>>
