See the UNU study.
Why? Obviously you haven't, or you would be quoting selected parts.

Crippled conservative brain doesn't know about AI yet; determining the required successive fill times for the entire system is a cinch.
AI is only as good as the initial HUMAN programmers.
And that would mean they could only ever be successively emptied.

Stop bleating about cost (the issue is resources not "cost": even two billionaires alone were prepared to fund Suncable; and anyway the government can create money for free if the necessary resources are available for purchase by the government.
Oh so "Free Money" means you can use the most expensive option available. I don't think Keen even proposes that.

A cinch, and for free as noted above, since the necessary resources are available. Or funded by a couple of billionaires.
And the billionaires are only doing it for the benefit of mankind, so monetary kickbacks at all.

Yes. And?
Australia has the necessary resources to complete the job.
Ah yes. Free other people's money.

But fail to meet Paris 2030 requirements (midway to zero emissions by 2050).
Solar and wind turbines consume power being made, they need to be replaced, consuming more power. So because China is offshore we will beat our Paris requirements? So much for a GLOBAL solution.

Correct - amazing, occasionally your crippled conservative brain spits out a correct statement.
And which does nothing for your free money argument.

First up , I can show you 2 Suncable equivalents, funded by Cannon-Brookes and Forrest, or better, for free by the Oz Treasury.
Only with "free money". Or those kind benevolent greenie types like in Germany where they have ramped up their sale price of their "free electricity".

Disastrous crippled brain again: C-B and Forrest fell out, but the scheme is doable.
And yet it fell down broke. So much for doable.

As for cost; Dutton doesn't mind public funding for his distant nuclear dream...now there's an ideological reverse for you...
But you said it could be done cheaper using nuclear. Why would you want a temporary, more expensive, replacement?

Low IQ crippled brain - C-B and Twiggy had a falling out.
And Twiggy's Green Dream head honchos are departing at a rapid rate. Why do you think that is?

Because most of what you wrote is crippled by blind ideology (one exception already noted...).
So one exception overrules 4.

And those old codgers will be swept aside by young voters who want zero emissions FAST (latest polling among 20-35 age groups).
It is the youg people in the EU who are rebelling.

They are technology neutral, but - unlike you - want zero emissions NOW.
And those same EU youngies have seen the cost skyrocket and reliability of supply dive.

Crippled brain and low IQ: gas is merely the transition (firming) fuel as we approach 100% renewables.
And still nothing from you about this nirvana needing replacement solar and wind.

I saw a tweet from former PM Turnbull today saying nuclear in Oz isn't necessary.
Ah yes Malcolm, the closet green.
You realise he was an "investment banker". All those lovely subsidies in green.
