I do not believe the coalition has any intention to actually build nuclear power plants in Australia.

Who puts up a major, ENORMOUS election policy, with no plans of having it costed till after the Federal Election ?
Once costed, it would be universally blown out of the ballot boxes.

All this 'nuclear dog whistling' is not going to win him as many votes as the anti-sustainable and pro-nuclear climate change deniers seem to think he will.

Dutton has Labor in trouble - they don't know what to do.

Your capacity for misunderstanding never ceases to surprise. I wonder who you vote for?

I think nuclear is the most expensive option we have. Labor and the Greens gave us the cheapest option. The coalition gave us the most expensive option, after decades of crippling uncertainty.

Why do you lump them all together? Can one not be pro-nuclear because of the other 'dog whistling' you lumped in? I'm neither anti-sustainable nor climate change denier.

That all starts out with what YOU think. Renewables are not the cheapest. According to the experts it will cost trillions, with storage, as opposed to billions for nuclear and no need for weather dependant renewables. Those weather dependant renewables and storage from batteries keep needing replacement, far more often than nuclear. Roll Eyes

What you think is really immaterial. Wink

Decades of uncertainty as opposed to decades of intermittent power? Wink

I don't. And I don't think they're going to rush to come to Australia if the embargo is ever lifted. Certanly not in the numbers we will require. Not unless we pay them a fortune, which will blow any claims Mr potato Head makes about it being 'cheaper' obsolete.

We have thousands, and once they hook up the panel they move onto their next job.
