IF YOU WANT CONTINUOUS POWER YOU HAVE TO HAVE NUCLEAR POWER TO CHARGE YOUR EV'S AND NO BLACKOUTS OR HAVE NO NITE LIFE BACK IN 1800'S AS LABOR WORKS FOR THE UNITED NATIONS LIKE SO MANY OTHER NATIONS LEADERSHIP AND NOT FOR DUMB VOTING IDIOTS.

We don’t need nuclear power when there is zero point energy sources available but the money and government won’t allow it to happen they’d rather poison everything and everyone to keep the power over the population

The whole debate is distorted by the Luddite Labor cronies with their money and their friends money invested into sucking every possible penny from the average Australian. A case of friends and policy before the needs of the people.
The NETT Zero requirements is that we do not add carbon into the atmosphere is levels in excess of that which we extract from the atmosphere. Here is where the argument becomes blinkered. Ideally ALL of Australia's energy requirements need to be carbon neutral and this should include transport as well as industrial and domestic consumption. In order to accomplish this and VASTLY improve our balance of payments at the same time we should consider Hydrocarbons as a energy storage medium. Carbon can be extracted from biomass in all its forms and when combined with water and electricity a synthetic fossil fuel substitute can be obtained. To do this we need an energy generation capacity of more than 10 times what the federal government is planning. The quickest and cheapest source of electricity is nuclear in all its current generating formats. As for the water Electricity and waste/sea water makes pure water using desalination. Excess water allows for the increasing of agricultural lands and therefore carbon extraction from the atmosphere. PLEASE someone think of the 22nd and 23rd century NOW and start planning for an energy self-sufficient Australia by then or Australia will be little better than a sub-Saharan African nation of today.
Albo should get serious about Australia's future or get out of the way!

The irony of the title of this video with the following content. Ths argument even 5 - 7 years ago would have struggled to be taken seriously.
Are all the comments in here bots or is that common theme on Sky News clips? Yes I realise Sky News YouTube is purely targeting US Right Wing audiences.
@mikegofton1 Says:
The coalition push for nuclear energy is all about politics. The Greens control the Senate and won’t countenance nuclear energy , period.
The ALP might want to lift the nuclear energy ban put in place by the Howard government, and let the market sort it out - the coalition would presumably support such a change, however the Greens would threaten to block all other ALP legislation.
The economic argument for nuclear can be tested by looking at where energy investment is going in other developed democratic countries where nuclear is not banned (e.g. France, UK, Canada, USA) - renewables are dominating. Nuclear may become more cost effective - however we’re not there yet, and probably won’t be for a decade.

Nuclear IS very expensive up front. But so are renewables. It’s just that the scale of transmission, storage and maintenance required for the vast, distributed, all-renewable system have been hidden, fudged, or assumed to be provided by the taxpayer’s own private expenditure.

@tombradshaw5164 Says:
Good interview, but the "zero omissions" line is nonsense. Z-O is for the gullible fools out there who believe CO2 is a problem. Bullshit, because any reduction in anthropogenic emissions of CO2 will just be counter-balanced by the oceans and river systems increasing their natural output in order to bring any imbalances back into balance. Planet Earth has an inherent ability to do such, and FATHER (No, not MOTHER) has been doing so for 4.5 billion years. Try to change that if you wish, but GOOD LUCK!
@pwillis1589. Says:
The Barakah nuclear power station in the United Arab Emirates was recently commissioned at a cost of USD $32 billion. It took 8 years for each of the 4 reactors and took 12 years in total. The NEM would need 5 of these stations to meet demand, at AUD$268 Billion. While Casanova bowen is hiding the total cost of his AUD$3 TRILLION transmission infrastructure required to connect all the wind and solar projects.
It is disgraceful. Liebor hates Australia.

So Australia digs up thousands of tons of coal and iron and sells it to China. The Chinese use the steel to build a new coal fired power station every WEEK. They then use the coal to power them. The taxes from the sale of these items keeps the Aussies in beer, fags, cocaine and footy. Meanwhile the Aussies are off on a green lunacy run. The hypocrisy is astounding.

Renewables have been on the go for 23 years and to date Renewables account for 39.4 per cent of Australia's total electricity supply.

So 46 years and we might make it to 80%.
Oh!! No Sorry
Everything will need Renewing by then.
Bahahahaha 😆
@johnwoodrow8769 Says:
What aspect of electricity generation, is determined by "the market"? The answer is none. All forms are influenced and motivated by government policies and subsidies, especially renewables. So the idea of leaving nuclear to 'the market' to decide is another deception in this debate.

https://youtu.be/cVFWfwF3C68?t=95
What I'd suggest Dr Adi Paterson fails to mention is that Finland had record high wholesale electricity prices in the summer of 2022.
Part of the reason for high electricity prices in Europe was that by mid-Aug 2022, more than half of France's 56 nuclear reactors were offline, due to safety-relevant damage in the safety injection system, heat or drought, and scheduled shutdowns. EDF’s Executive Director of Generation and Engineering of the Existing Nuclear and Thermal Fleet called the year 2022 “𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘴”.
Per Statista, the average monthly electricity wholesale price in Finland, in the period Jan 2019 to Aug 2024 (€/MWh):
* 2020 May: _ _ 19.46 (cheapest monthly price before OLKILUOTO-3 connection to grid)
* 2021 Dec: _ _193.27 (highest in 2021)

Why the obsession with 'Small' nuclear reactors. Virtue signalling? I'm only a little bit bad. Appeasing the environmental ideologues?
We should start building what's tested and available now.
Of course, new developments should be kept going for the right reasons: powering remote locations and building reactors on an assembly line.
