Jesus Christ what a disaster it will be if Liberals continue with this undercooked policy. The way they scuttled the last major infrastructure policy, the NBN, was an embarrassment. Now they're upping the stakes to nuclear energy, no amount of spin from Sky can polish this turd of a policy.

Stephen Conroy says Labor needs to point out the holes in the coalition plan, so far it seems that Labor can't find any holes that don't help the Australian people.
@rustykilt Says:
My belief is that all the wind turbines and solar panels and hardware are sourced from China. The Government is simply using the renewables scam to do trade deals that allow China to profit from massive sales to Australia. Because this hardware is high maintenance and in constant need of repair or replacement it is an ongoing win for China which has enormous influence in Canberra. Meanwhile, Australia is allowed to renew Lobster exports to China.

All this talk all this carrying on by everyone dosent mean a thing unless they completely lift the nuclear ban in australia only then the true costings can be presented labor has the opposition by the balls cause they wont have any part in lifting the ban unless the majority of the voters push for it
@neilbeauchamp1924 Says:
Labor has never come clean on the total cost, financially, environmentally, and the impact on Australian businesses. They have been careful to hide this. They also have the Snowy Pumped Hydro project that has run far over costs already and the drilling machine is stuck and cant be moved. All this is massively more expensive than a nuclear power station that will provide 24/7 consistent and stable electricity whole the Snowy Pumped Hydro will only provide occasional power after consuming a massive amount of power to pump water up hill again. That power will have to be paid for and the people of Australia will have to pay for that inefficiency. Labor are lunatics if the think renewables will ever provide cheap and stable power.

Socialist electricity? Taxpayers money? Is it not commercially viable?
Suddenly environmentally conscious?
In what backyard?
Its going to take how long?
Its going to cost how much?
1950s technology?
Such clear and forward thinking 😂.

Just saw a labor page asking for donations specifically to fight Duttons nuclear proposal.
How nuts are these people.
They must know that the climate change scam will finally be fully exposed.
Go Dutton.
This will be bigger than the Voice win!
@kevonmason6140 Says:
Nuclear is not expensive.
Lets just talk about costs in kWh per hour, because that is what we the consumer pays.
France which generates 70% of their electricity from nuclear reactors charges A$0.32 cents per kWh.
Thats after all the construction and the facilities are producing 24/7 electricity.
In Australia we generate approximately 70% of our electricity from coal and gas and depending in what state we live in are charged from $0.25 cents per kWh up to a sky high $0.45 cents per kWh.
So try and tell me that nuclear is more expensive.
Lets just talk about costs in kWh per hour, because that is what we the consumer pays.
France is currently proposing 6-8 new reactors and worldwide there are proposals for approximately 300 reactors.

Very educational. This episode is about teaching people how to lie with eyes wide open, as always.
@actualfacts1055 Says:
Labor is too gutless to go nuclear, they don't want to upset the stupid half-witted Greens.
@actualfacts1055 Says:
Labor's plan still needs gas power stations producing emissions, nuclear doesn't.
@actualfacts1055 Says:
Oh no if Australia doesn't reach an unattainable emissions target by 2030 the whole galaxy won't be saved from climate change, we are all doomed.

Why do the show pictures of of steam coming out of towers ,,,,do they think they will fool people into thinking that it’s smoke 😂😂😂😂,,,,,Australia will never compete in the market place with the rest of the world without cheap electricity and plenty of water for farming,,,,,without these Australia will fail and be lost to China.
@banjobluedog Says:
what people are realising is that man-made global climate change is not a thing and, even if it was a thing, there's nothing Australia or the West can do about it because (according to the theory) the engines of change are China and India - and they aren't gunna do shit about it.
And those same people now realise that, if we must abandon cheap reliable energy from fossil fuels, the only sane thing to do is replace it with atomic age energy - not the stone age energy urged on us by misanthropic leftist witch doctors

If the state labour premiers want to stop the Australian people from having cheap reliable power, they won’t be premier for long

I had to laugh at Chris Bowen's response when asked how are we going to store this renewable energy? "We will build a bigger battery"
They sell 36v batteries at Bunnings.
Good on you Dutton, for giving us a common sense approach.
This labor mob are taking peoples land so what are they on about

Bronwyn Bishop has not improved. She parrots a load of crap yet again. Wasn't she the one who decided to take a helicopter ride a few km at taxpayers' cost when she could have easily driven?
@desking8065 Says:
Coal has to go. Why, Because it can not be made idle without still burning coal in case its needed. Gas fired turbines can be ramped up and down or shut down if not needed. No different than a jet engine. SMR's will not cut the mustard, they are small for a reason, small means less steam and therefore less power. Victoria alone uses 41.5 GwH , QLD uses 50.4 GwH , NSW uses 66 GwH , SA uses 13 GwH, Tas uses 11 GwH A total of 185 GwH. Or 185,000,000 MwH or 185,000,000,000 Billion KwH.

@JackSmith-x8s Says:
Not a fan of Alba-sleasy at all, or the ridiculously expensive, impractical, environmentally damaging, knee jerk renewables energy sources, but
Dutton says nuclear will lower electricity prices and I call BS!
It's a meaningless statement backed up by nothing.
History shows us quite clearly that unless Govt steps in to control energy providers they will ride roughshod over consumers.
It doesn't matter what the energy source is!
They are in business to maximize profits and they will.

Oh Steven stop being a Nelly. Get on board now! Australia is becoming a joke. Who will invest here, when there are countries that offer cheap plentiful power. It is not us. Peter Dutton has my vote.

Conroy. Your number was way out so you have absolutely no credibility.
@jamesaustralian9829 Says:
The idea of nuclear and renewable is silly. You can't spool up or stop a reactor quickly. You can with natural gas. Why hasn't he gone with natural gas plants, removing the bans from gas appliances and the renewables - that would be a guaranteed winner.
@BatteryCommander Says:
The irony of Conroy saying the plan has no detail.....when have Labor given the nation any detail about anything? (That wasn't a lie)
@herbschmidt2401 Says:
Number on it is easy Stephen. UAE reactor costs are in the public space. What’s in the number you might ask? We’ll generation facilities, support industry (2nd tier) , education and structural regulation and services sector + legal legislative sector ( 3rd tier ). Not hard really is it. The broader benefits are the doubling down on industry STEMS and broader alliance with the international energy community. We seem always wanting to dumb down the prospect of keeping up with innovation as a threat to our national interest. Getting tied of the old tropes used by Conroy and company.
