Yeah this is why a lot of people were thinking that the Australian opposition asking for spending $40-50 billions for nuclear that would come online in 20-30 years and to keep using coal and gas till then were being stupid.
- ZeroGravitas 3mo agoIt's not stupid if they are paid off by the people selling the coal and gas. It's just a treasonous level of corruption. Voters opting to be extorted like this would have been stupid.
- thedays 3mo agoIt wasn’t $40-50 billion. It was estimated to cost $116-$600 billion to build 7 nuclear reactors https://smartenergy.org.au/nuclear-fallout-116-600-billion-to-build-7-nuclear-reactors/ https://smartenergy.org.au/nuclear-fallout-116-600-billion-t... I think the likely cost would have been hundreds of billions considering Australia does not have a nuclear energy generation industry. It currently has a very small nuclear workforce as it only has a small nuclear medical reactor on the outskirts of Sydney.
- xbmcuser 3mo agoI am talking about the $30 billion that the opposition was making up. My point was that even those made up numbers for nuclear were still more expensive than installing solar and batteries.
