Tell us what, how about you explain why these developing countries are willing to invest billions of dollars (which they really don't have) in nuclear energy when more developed countries aren't? I look forward to your response. Tsk, tsk, tsk...  Look at the map. Most of the developed world and several less developed counties are investing in nuclear power. Why? Because it works, unlike the renewables fantasy. There are up front costs, often exacerbated by anti nuclear activists and bureaucrats putting any obstacle they can in the way, but nuclear provides. Those nations who are not investing in nuclear, mainly in Europe, are buying energy from those nations who do have it. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/nuclear-power-by-country An interesting point but it still fails to answer the question. How are developing nations which are supposedly investing in nuclear power going to handle ongoing costs such as that of waste storage? How are they going to handle the costs required for the investment in the nuclear fuel? Renewables are not a fantasy, renewables work and work well, Belgarion. Indeed your charactising them as a fantasy shows how disconnected from reality you are. Tsk, tsk, tsk... ps. Your map is wildly inaccurate. According to it we have 10 reactors in operation in Australia. We have two. How do you see 10 reactors in Australia on that map? As for renewables being a fantasy, how is your power bill lately? Have you noticed the increasing blackouts and the warnings from government about power usage, or the decision to allow the energy regulator to turn off your solar if deemed necessary? All the above are a result of the ideological fantasy that so called 'renewables' can provide the power a modern nation needs, encouraged by the grifters who are making billions out of it. But wait! There's more!: https://www.thecivilengineer.org/news/solar-farms-and-wind-turbines-tested-and-f... The map you originally put up showed 10 reactors in Australia (and most of the world). It is incorrect because we only have two. Renewables are quite capable of supplying a nation like Australia's energy needs. Solar, Wind, Tidal (still to be explored), ocean currents, hydro-electric are a few of the ways we can exploit nature for energy, Belgarion. Your attempt to paint them as useless is well, useless, capeche? The energy exists, it just needs to be exploited. If you don't agree with it, you can always move somewhere else. Nuclear is expensive and dangerous. Tsk, tsk, tsk... None of the methods you mention can supply smoothly regulated 24/7 power. As for going somewhere else, I trust that you and the other anti nuclear people will never travel overseas? Because if you did you will almost certainly be using electricity generated by nuclear power and that would be terribly hypocritical of you.
