Labor is having a good time in questions in parliament right now
putting down Dutton and his new nuclear plan.

Has Dutton made a big mistake?

Truth time.

He's not made a mistake.

He's taken the only option left to him without biting the hands that feed them.

The ultra-conservatives in the Liberal Party refuse to get on board with Climate Change.

The Nats hate renewables because of the fossil fuel industry convincing them that they're kinda ghey, despite most of their constituency being able to greatly profit by utilising their unused land for wind and solar.

Morrison lost too many voters to the Teals and now Dutton can't get them back, because of the above, so he's looking for a new constituency.

And this plan, how it's written and the justifications we've got so far, it's like he's targeting the cookers.

It's interesting you bring up water.

Only one of those sites has access to seawater, the rest require dams to provide water to the existing power stations.

We've seen in France the issues with water temperature from inland sources, rivers and dams, that require reduced generation or total shutdown.

Once the water exceeds 25 degrees they have to reduce output, and once they exceed 28 degrees they have to shutdown.

In terms of water levels, there are documented instances where the coal plants that currently exist on these sites have had to shut down because supply was too low, let alone because of temperature concerns.

Like I said, the more you start looking at the details, the more you realise that other than consulting lawyers, they've had very little expert consultation that went into their mining policy.

They appear to have started with the goal of, "how can we keep the Nats happy by continuing to deny climate change behind closed door, whil attacking renewables, while keeping the Teal voters open to coming back into the fold by pretending we care about climate change, all while pushing more Gas powered generation to keep our mining benefactors happy" and worked backwards from there.

They didn't start out with, "what will our energy needs be in 30 years. How do we meet those needs while being able to supply reliable baseload power while keeping to our emissions targets".

We already know they want to abandon those targets and push more Gas generation and are using nuclear to legitimise it.

It's going to be a massive payday for the current owners of those coal power plants.

I'd be getting ready to gouge the taxpayer, get the sale, then right against Nuclear and pivot to investing that windfall into renewables.

The chances of a power plant having to shut down because of high water source temperatures are small, the use of cooling towers makes the chances even smaller.

That's a bold claim to make without any data to back it up, as the climate is changing and are doughts are set to get more frequent and last longer.

The chances of a power plant having to shut down because of high water source temperatures are small, the use of cooling towers makes the chances even smaller.

Gas Coal and Nuclear boil water to make steam which drives turbines.

This water temp nonsense sounds like BS for starters i doubt lakes river or sea temps get anywhere near that in France.

It sounds like nonsense because you don't want it to be true. That's all.

And it's not just turbine operation that water is used for with Nuclear power plants, you know that right?

For the rest of us, as strange as it sounds, we just let history speak for itself.

2003: Several French nuclear power plants had to reduce their output because the river temperatures were too high to provide adequate cooling.

2006 Summer: Another hot summer in 2006 led to reductions in nuclear power output. Plants located along the Rhône and Loire rivers were particularly affected due to elevated water temperatures.

2018: In August 2018, EDF had to temporarily shut down several reactors to prevent the overheating of rivers, as water temperatures were too high to safely discharge back into the environment.

2019: Similar to previous years, the 2019 heatwave saw EDF reducing power output at multiple reactors. The extreme heat caused water temperatures to rise, limiting the ability to use river water for cooling.

None of the proposed sites, bar 1, will have access to seawater. So not only are they be dependent on adequate rainfall for supply, temperatures will also play a part given France has a much cooler climate overall than we do and they've already had these problems before the weather has started to be more extreme.

They consider a heatwave to be sustained temperatures of over 30 degrees.

We get that before we hit full blown summer on the regular.

I remember a certain potato-looking politician basing their entire opposition to a certain referendum due to lack of detail, and the band of rats that he pied-pipered into parroting the same line were adamant of the same.

Funny how quickly they drop their outrage about, if they were to be believed, one of the greatest outraged in the history of the world, "lack of detail" when their piper decides to won't provide any until after we are to vote on it.

Like seriously, wtf.

I doubt it, Howard was the one that killed Nuclear power in this country.

Sure, he can change his mind, but he's just being wheeled out to help support his party.

It doesn't mean his heart is in it or he had anything to do with the decision.

It's about pushing Gas rather than delivering Nuclear at the end of the day anyway.
