Now all you have to do is show renewables can do it and the cost will drop.

"Wholesale electricity prices have more than doubled since 2021, adding to the cost-of-living pressures and sparking calls for the transformation of WA's South West grid to be urgently "fast-tracked".

Prices have more than doubled on the back of "decarbonisation?

If wholesale prices have more than doubled, guess what the retail price is. Roll Eyes

From your headlined article -

"Meanwhile, the federal government has capitalised on the information void left by the Coalition, releasing Energy Department analysis that has concluded without additional action the Coalition's nuclear policy would fall well short of energy demands.

The department said demand for electricity was expected to be 1.5 times greater by 2035, and to meet that demand Australia must replace any exiting generation like retiring coal plants, as well as add an extra 67 gigawatts for a total 153.5 gigawatts of supply."

Now all you have to do is multiply the renewables by at least 3 times that amount to meet the anticipated electricity required. So at least 4.5 times. Roll Eyes

So what is the reputed cost of these increased renewables? They are NOT free. By how much will they increase the cost of electricity?

Rolls-Royce is closing in on deals to build mini nuclear power plants in Sweden and The Netherlands, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The British engineering giant was last week selected by the government of the Czech Republic as preferred supplier to state-owned power group CEZ, beating competition from French, American and Japanese rivals.

Shares in the FTSE 100-listed firm hit a record high last week after it won the landmark contract, which will see it develop and construct small modular reactors (SMRs), with the first expected to be built by 2035.

Rolls told The Mail on Sunday that similar deals were set to be struck in Sweden and The Netherlands before the end of this year. Pressure is mounting on Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to approve SMRs in the UK.

In Sweden, Rolls is on a shortlist of two competing to deploy a fleet of SMRs in the country.
