Seriously Mr Bowen?

Australia's uranium has been mined since 1954, and our uranium
reserves are the world's largest, with 28% of the total.

Re Dutton's stance, it's ironic that Gough Whitlam's Labor party
was in favour of developing nuclear power generation in Australia
until the tree-huggers of the day kyboshed it. Sadly.

It might have been a good idea back then. But since then, nuclear has gone from the cheapest to the most expensive option. Does that makes sense to you?

What/who makes you think it went from cheapest to most expensive in 50 years? Apart from Chris Bowen.

Up to a point.

i mean if climate change isnt real, why have a nuclear debate at all. just make a bunch of coal stations, would be way cheaper and easier. yes there are negative externalties to coal even if there were no anthropogenic forcings but they're not serious enough to justify wasting time with nuclear instead. carbon based energy is absolutely the best in class if not for the fact that it may heat the planet, if it doesn't why bother with anything else.

immigration is huge cuz its whats driving the need for more capacity mostly at least in states are are 'industrialised'. sure there'd be a need to replace aging generators and we'd be arguing about what they should be replaced with etc etc etc but without a squazillion warm bodies being trucked in from overseas this would be a much more relaxed non-urgent conversation. ukraine is a great case in point, even with the russian strategic rocket force potshotting its transformers every other day it still keeps the lights on pretty good bc its capacity is vastly beyond the needs of its current population, which has declined since 1991.

Agree.

There is a less urgent case for transition from finite energy sources to longer lasting ones.
There is a strong case for clean air, water, soil (CO2 is not a pollutant).

The BoA part of that article where it states the following should be looked at:

Quote:

Bank of America (2023)[edit]
In 2023, Bank of America conducted a LCOE study in which it postulated that existing LCOE estimates for renewables do not account for fossil fuel or battery backup and therefore levelized full system cost of electricity (LFSCOE) would be a more reasonable metric to compare sources in terms of providing 24/7 consumer electricity.[87]

LCOE LFSCOE(Texas, US) LFSCOE(Germany, EU)

Nuclear 82 122 106
Wind    40 291 504
Solar    36 413 1548
Biomass 95 117 104
Coal 76         90 78
Gas 38         40 35

Nuclear dosn't look so bad taking more factors into consideration.

Edit: For those that think in terms 3 eyed fish etc and still support coal should read this.

The lefties claim Liberals want to keep gas by proposing nuclear Grin

@AdamBandt
Labor have approved a $1 billion Gina Rinehart-backed gas project.

The Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has approved over 150 new gas wells to run until 2080.

This is Labor: helping billionaires profit off fuelling the climate crisis.

I thought we got rid of Morrison.

Your site is ****ed, FD, a laggy, dungfired dinosaur of a board. I click on your link and i get Grappler's post with the Oppenheimer still.

It has been poined out to you dozens of times that your site is laggy, it doesn't display the latest post - that's why people post empties and flips to chivvie it along.

What have you done about it? Nuffin'. You ask me if I am high. Pull your finger out, pal, fix your antiquated, wood fired old site. You earn an income from us, meager as it is and diminishing by the day.

it would be nice if we could have a search function that worked and post (up to 100 ) pages that go over the current amount so reading through any thread wasnt so frustrating
