Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@jennymills3147 says : Lift the moratorium and the market will decide.>> <<@Poorlineforeva says : Rubbish>> <<@rosscoe3005 says : I'ts just a play at getting elected from Dutton.. Strange how it came out of the blue at a perfect time but is not an idea they put forward before.. This is just telling people what they want to hear in order to take all the power. Why are people so dumb that they think it's anything other than a stunt to win on election day. What are the chances if he wins you will all complain and want him out within a few years? about 90% i say... Australia is ruined by the two party system which was designed to advantage themselves and take away competition that would threaten them either running the country or being next in line to do so.. The duopoly hypocrisy and you do as they say not as they do.>> <<@rosscoe3005 says : How do they get the money to build it? They don't have any money to fix housing and they keep high immigration. They have no money for average Australians but have piles of it for things like submarines, immigration, nuclear power, MP pay rises, 20% superannuation for MP's, private jets and a fully tax payer funded life on top of large salaries. Seems they have a lot of spare money for their own needs.>> <<@rosscoe3005 says : How will this help average Australians? What we will have a new way to increase cost to consumer. Tax payers will pay billions just to have the pleasure of paying for corporate profits.>> <<@desking8065 says : 1 A SMR costing This bloke just double crossed himself. What has wiring to the house got to do with solar. There is nothing to base any costings on as the US has abandoned work on an SMR because the buyers have pulled out after rising costs. [ Westinghouse] Canada will not start on a SMR until 2030 The Callide power station has run a muck for lack of maintenance and costing. 10 Years of no power additions. This plant should have shut down years ago. The operators should be castrated for letting this disaster go on for so long. @awc900 5 minutes ago Let's just remove the moratorium and get some real costings on nuclear instead of the biased guesswork from the likes of AEMO and CSIRO. There is no costings because work on the first 300 MwH reactor has been abandoned as buyers have pulled out because of rising costs. Who would buy an untested machine any way. I mean for years. @stewartbrooker 5 minutes ago $100 billion for around 11GW of Nuclear, you can get 110GW of Solar for the same cost No such thing as that 1.4 GwH is the largest reactor ever built [England]>> <<@alancotterell9207 says : Nuclear power's capital cost will only be known long after the money has been spent, and the reactors have been sold.>> <<@Gregpriestley-q4e says : Wonderful to hear from a learned leader in an industry>> <<@TheGuesty26 says : Blows me away how stupid Australia is>> <<@graemeschubert6162 says : Bullshit 😅>> <<@chrisgriffiths2533 says : Sky is a Bunch of Shockers. Still No Hard Questions about Nuclear.>> <<@terrymorey404 says : labor is stupid they are brinigin a nuclear power station into west aus because of the nuclear submarines but there's a ban on nuclear thats the kettle calling the pot black>> <<@chrisgriffiths2533 says : Is Professor Adi Paterson saying We Should Not Connect the WA Grid to the East Coast Grid.>> <<@chrisgriffiths2533 says : Leader Littleproud Must be Upfront with Regional Australians and Give the TOTAL COSTS OF COAL. INCLUDING COST OF SUBSIDIES TO THE COAL INDUSTRY. Give the Cost for Last Year, The Last Ten Years, The Last Fifty Years in Today Dollars.>> <<@Philip-hv2kc says : Thank god the LNP has bitten the bullet . Hydro 2 from the figures I've seen will be a waste of 12 billion, i think maybe ywo billion has already been sunk into 150 metres of tunnel work , i very vaguely recall some complications due to encountering granite rock but very vague on it .>> <<@Philip-hv2kc says : He says people will be able to come to Australia and populate the place . It's already populated but current state of affairs still doesn't prevent labour inviting ½ million immigrants per year ; but they do bring money to purchase real estate and pay top dollar for everything else and prop up the Australian economy.>> <<@GeoffMiell says : There are plenty of examples around the world to understand how much the capital costs of nuclear power generator units are and how long it takes to deploy them. Why would it be significantly different in Australia? Peter Dutton cited favourably the large-scale Westinghouse AP-1000 reactor design with 1,117 MWₑ net capacity each, used for the recently operational VOGTLE-3 unit and not yet fully operational VOGTLE-4 unit in Georgia, USA, where a recent cost estimate is AU$23.6 billion/GW. USA has demonstrated it took almost 17-years to get its VOGTLE-3 unit operational, from Southern Nuclear’s formal application for an Early Site Permit in Aug 2006, to construction commencing on 2 Mar 2013 to full operations on 31 Jul 2023, and 18-years for VOGTLE-4. For the HINKLEY POINT C-1 & -2 project in the UK, for the Framatome/EDF EPR-1750 design with 1,630 MWₑ net capacity, the estimate is AU$27.2 billion/GW. UK looks like it will take at least 19-years to get the first of its twin reactors designated HINKLEY POINT C-1 &-2, from when the site was one of eight announced by the British government in 2010, to construction commencing of HINKLEY POINT C-1 on 11 Dec 2018 to the latest expected start date at least by 2029. The UAE has demonstrated it took more than 15-years to get its first nuclear reactor unit operational from scratch, from an Energy Planning Study in 2006 through to announcement of their Nuclear Policy in 2008, to construction commencing for BARAKAH-1 on 19 Jul 2012 to full operations on 1 Apr 2021, and more than 18-years for its BARAKAH-4 (yet to be fully operational) unit. According to some estimates, the all up cost for the four units (4x 1,337 MWₑ net capacity) with finance was $US34 billion, or more than $AU50 billion. Former Australian Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel suggests any call to go directly from coal to nuclear is effectively a call to delay decarbonisation of our electricity system by 20 years. Unlike the US and the UK, Australia has no regulatory, construction, and/or operational nuclear power experience, so I'd suggest that Australia might see the first prospective operational unit in 20 years at the earliest. On Sunday (Jun 23), on the ABC TV 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 program Ted O'Brien MP indicated there likely would be multiple reactors at each of the nominated sites: Tarong & Callide in Queensland; Liddell & Mt Piper in NSW; Loy Yang in Victoria; Port Augusta in SA; and Muja in WA. So the total implementation costs are certainly looking in the hundreds of billions of dollars to perhaps over a trillion dollars. But the Coalition won't tell us how much it could cost. Meanwhile, all coal-fired power stations in Australia are approaching their respective end-of-operational-life. More than a few coal-fired power stations will close over the next few decades in Australia. The AEMO’s draft 2024 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯, the latest version of its 30-year planning blueprint, suggests coal fired generation will be gone from Queensland and Victoria within a decade – by 2033/34 – and that the last coal unit will close in NSW by 2038. How does the Coalition’s nuclear policy solve Australia’s energy security needs if it’s highly unlikely for any nuclear generator units to become operational in Australia before the mid-2040s at the earliest? How does the Coalition’s nuclear policy keep Australia’s ‘lights on’ and ease the current cost-of-living crisis in the interim? How does it help Australians on fixed-incomes NOW? Answer: It doesn’t, irrespective of how much it would cost! I'd suggest this issue is as serious as it can get. Scarce/unaffordable energy is an existential threat to Australia's national security. No energy, no economy. I'd suggest the Coalition are relying on having enough ill-informed/ignorant voters help them get back into political power, at the expense of Australia's energy security, and to stop the further expansion of renewables while keeping coal/gas going for as long as possible.

You don't have to unban something to do a cost assessment.>> <<@brianlitson says : This is a goldmine for terrace 😂😂😂>> <<@darrylhalden1948 says : It will cost more much much more and will be decades delayed from whatever spin the coalition comes out with, you can put your house on that....and it wont lead to cheaper electricity that's a furphy>> <<@bushmagpie3312 says : Safety should priority and reliability Labor is worried about nuclear I would be more worried about battery fires as over last few months with vehicle fires while charging, large power system catching fire in US and now 20 killed in South Korea. Isn’t this great for planet with toxic chemicals in atmosphere? Ask labour how many people and animals have been killed by renewable, 20 this week, 12 last year by wind turbines and tally grows. Nuclear power is way down scale, how many people died in Japan as a direct result of nuclear power station? The tsunami killed a lot of people didn’t hear any of the nuclear power station. It was controlled. Ask were are the facts nuclear power is unsafe when renewables has killed a lot more people than nuclear. Batteries have killed more now than any nuclear power plant.>> <<@vincentburrowes9243 says : No Crises - We have had an increase in Natural Disasters in the last 10 Years - the insurance companies are raising their premiums or refusing to insure. Don't believe in climate crises - Fine - but we are all paying more with something to do with the weather / climate!>> <<@GStreet-o9z says : We need to lift the ban on nuclear power so we can build nuclear power plants.>> <<@Rob-el8ti says : it will also get cheaper as the workers get experience in building and it gets faster per built station, australia it will save you money in the long run wish the uk would build another 6 or 9>> <<@frogballs-y6c says : We will run out of power. Either new coal power plants or nuclear power. We NEED it. coal is cheaper, nukes are next, gas is third and the joke of solar/wind is last. follow the money, labour has been bought out to the detriment of us all...>> <<@imeagleeye1 says : Its a Con Job Spent nuclear fuel stays a radiation hazard for extended periods of time with half-lifes as high as 24,000 years. For example 10 years after removal from a reactor, the surface dose rate for a typical spent fuel assembly still exceeds 10,000 rem/hour—far greater than the fatal whole-body dose for humans of about 500 rem received all at once.>> <<@edwindavis1818 says : And what do the scientists say? Sky News GARBAGE>> <<@dennismcdonnell7853 says : It used to be that if you followed the money, you would find the corruption. But now it is a case of follow the political power that is determined to break Australia's back, and you will see that the NWO puppets and infiltrators are pushing climate change and renewables to wreck our economy and get a NWO Communist takeover. A successful and cheap power system is the last thing that they want, and they do not want renewables to actually be successful either, which is why they are made to fail. Next, they will try to stop safe non-polluting batteries from being marketed.>> <<@stewatparkpark2933 says : Labor can't win an election without Green preferences so can never support nuclear .>> <<@milosradovanovic5280 says : Sorry, the ban has to be lifted emedietly, definitely 👍🇺🇸❤️🤗🌎🐖💯🇦🇺 6:28>> <<@milosradovanovic5280 says : Great, the ban on nuclear has to be done emedietly, definitely 🇺🇸❤️🤗🌎🐖🐖💯🇦🇺 6:25>> <<@milosradovanovic5280 says : I do believe in science, costing has to be done properly , indepentdently done, because we have seen in climate chang debate , the highest institutions play politics not science,definitely 🇺🇸❤️🤗🌎🐖💯🇦🇺👍 5:26>> <<@SebastianYap-xj9ju says : This is what wicked people babies spirit hate helper spirit of truth is word of Jesus christ so wicked people babies spirit love Antichrist spirit is their prophets spirit is Antichrist spirit Is their father Abraham spirit is Antichrist spirit said messiah is coming so Antichrist spirit said the messiah is coming so John baptist said testing the spirits so Antichrist spirit is Abraham children spirit deny life and resserection jesus christ flesh live forever so John baptist said testing the spirits so by their Abraham children spirit deeds so you know they Abraham children spirts are bad Seeds wolves in sheep clothing so how can Abraham children spirit bear good fruit flesh from tree of life in garden of Eden?
