The problem is the aim at net zero. Net zero is based on belief in the man-made carbon-dioxide-emissions global warming doctrine. That doctrine is just world government Marxist agitprop. We should not give credence to the man-made carbon-dioxide-emissions global warming doctrine. We should not aim at net zero. Coal-fired power stations are the best way for us at present. We should be free to use nuclear energy as it shows itself better than coal.

60 year old power plants? Yes Chernobyl, Fukushima, Five Mile Island.
This infantile discussion is really just ridiculously stupid.
There is no shift in facts but listening to rubbish like that backed by Sky News will convince the feeble minded.
There is nothing wrong with Nuclear Power except that it is 20-100 time more expensive than renewable energy and Australia has so much scope for safe clean cheap renewable energy that we just don't need nuclear generation.

you can chains out a lot of solar and wind for the pries of 1 nuke plant and then don't haw to worry abut dangers waist for 1000 s of years after if you bilge a reactor it is not jest spent fuel but the hole powerplant being dangers waist after 50 ears of use

we have the cleanest coal & gas & is the only guaranteed path we need. if you don't believe that go ask the chinese & indians. net zero means no energy & that includes nuclear.

On July 4, 1917, Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower on Long Island, New York, was demolished by the federal government when they found out he was planning to give the world FREE ENERGY as a gift. They censored Tesla using the newspapers they controlled.
This is being revived again and will be part of a new technologies being released in the near future.
@johnwoodrow8769 Says:
People should read the CSIRO report to see just how flakey it is. To calculate large scale nuclear in Australia they have taken the competitive costs from South Korea and just inflated them up by a number no more scientific than being plucked out someone's arse.
They have compared the cost of developing a coal power plant in South Korea and the last time a new coal plant was built in Australia (how long ago was that) and inflated the cost of nuclear by that factor. No better than numbers plucked out their backside.
@maxthemagition Says:
I agree, the only practical alternative to fossil fuels is nuclear…
The fact is that by far the greatest CO2 production is from power stations that produce guess what…..electricity.
More and more EVs equals more and more power stations.
Cities also consume massive amounts of electricity whether it be for air con or heating so there again replacing gas and oil burners will increase the demand for electricity by a massive amount.
Electricity accounts for about about 20% of global energy demand and the demand keeps growing.
Replacing all gas and oil appliances obviously will require about ten times the present electrical production and it will all come from fossil fuelled generating stations.
There is no answer to reducing fossil fuels useage.
Please tell me I’m wrong.

With wars breaking out in the world, how stupid would we be committing to nuclear energy! One of the very first targets in conflict are utilities, and a strike on a nuclear facility would cause a mess that would take decades to clean up, and power for a large part of the country is just gone! Renewables are spread out far and wide on roofs, in batteries, wind e.t.c. and difficult to suppress. It's clear to me that money rather than morals are pushing nuclear power via the Libs in Australia. Don't fall for this venal spin.

@rattusfinkus Says:
Australia going to nuclear power is a joke. You are being had, it is a LNP diversion from the fact that they have no net zero or energy policy, they didn't have one when they were in office for 10 years and they don't have one now.
Nuclear is not economically feasible and it will take 20 years to build in Australia, what do we do in the meantime?
The world nuclear association admits that renewables make nuclear and coal unprofitable by substantially decreasing their capacity factors and thereby increasing LCOEs for baseload generators, recently European nuclear generators were paying to produce power, this is an illustration of this capacity factor degradation in progress.
Gencost shows even with transmission and storage renewables are the cheapest, there is no better analysis of the Australian grid.
Renewables will be a fraction of the price by the time any nuclear can be built, solar cells reduce in cost by 10% per year and wind and storage costs are also falling. So nuclear built now is competing with tomorrows even cheaper renewables.
Sticking with fossil fuels is not an option either. Fossil fuels prices are volatile as we saw with gas and renewables are cheaper in any case.
Border adjustment tariffs are coming and if we stick with fossil fuels our exports will be taxed.
A report by the NSW Chief Scientist - who has experience in the British nuclear industry - prepared for the NSW Berejiklian cabinet in 2020 said that introducing nuclear energy in that state would be expensive, difficult, involve finding tens of thousands of nuclear-trained workers and it would be "naive" to think a power plant could be built in less than two decades.
Hugh Durrant-Whyte, who was a former chief science adviser for the British military of defence and worked in the nuclear industry as an engineer said it would take "decades" to build up the workforce required to introduce nuclear power and it may not even lead to lower power costs.
The report by Mr Durrant-Whyte, obtained by Sky News, was presented to the NSW Cabinet in response to a parliamentary inquiry into introducing nuclear power into NSW and Australia, which was backed by then deputy premier John Barilaro.

@elenawalker3746 Says:
Nuclear generates more power with less land—31 times less than solar facilities and 173 times less than wind farms.
Wind and solar farms are located where wind and sunlight are abundantly available and require sprawling amounts of land for turbines and panels, whereas nuclear energy is contained to nuclear power plants.
A nuclear energy facility has a small area footprint, requiring about 1.3 square miles per 1,000 megawatts of energy.
This figure is based on the median land area of the 54 nuclear plant sites in the United States.

Net Zero is and always will be, a load of sh17. Climate change is a load of sh17. Stop using their fantasies as a way to convince people to use nuclear! Besides, the WEF are the current overlords of nuclear technology. Look what happened last time they said “trust the science”. So I will no longer support nuclear until it is in the hands of trustworthy people!

Of course the ridiculous premise is that we have to achieve net zero. The politicians on both sides embrace this fallacy ( that should set alarm bells ringing to any clear thinker, but they have shifted the needle so that no one questions it any more). Our life is carbon based, restrict carbon and you esssentially restrict life - which after all, is the goal of the globalists, who own both parties.
We have a land of abundant natural resources, we should embrace these assets and use them to provide cheap, abundant energy and reject the globalist nonsense of net zero.
