How come it is not financially viable in Australia when the top 20 countries in the Western World all have Solar in their mix and pay less for power. The current breakthroughs with Rolls Royce and General Electric reactors is groundbreaking also ITER in France is gearing up to production in 2025 now that continuous Fusion like the Sun has been achieved. Also Thorium reactors in China are achieving another breakthrough in fuel type. Pretty obvious the future is nuclear. The US Enterprise was at sea from the 60’s to 20’s and used 2kg of concentrate incredible energy from a tiny amount of fuel. Taxpayers are being ripped off with renewables that will be replaced 4 times by 3000 compared to a reactor that lasts at least 4 times longer and still be going in 3000. Taxpayers will happily pay for reactors when they are educated in their ability, safety and environmentally clean energy.

Here we have a leader of a political party that was in power for 9 years that had 20 different energy and power policies that delivered nothing but market confusion and no action other than to ensure the ongoing revenue streams of the fossil fuel industry. And now that party is calling for a halt on renewable energy projects for 20 years so their 21st energy policy can do what the other 20 did… ensure the ongoing carbon emissions of the fossil fuel industry. It is time we had people in power who work for the Australian public not their sponsors.

Dangerous times when a political party is willing to toy with scientific truth (and reality) in an attempt to win rather than putting forward credible policy. That’s Dutton & the Liberal Party with worse yet to come. #auspol

There is a saying that war is too important to be left to generals, but energy politics is certainly too important to be left to politicians. This paper demonstrates the consequences of politics. If these premature deaths had taken place in any other way, it might have been called genocide. However, they are today just collateral damage of energy policy. Who is to be held responsible? Are there no legal protection against mismanagement? Can democratically elected officials do whatever? What about the neighboring countries? I just ask. https://lnkd.in/dbkeJVAW

https://lnkd.in/gPePgM7y Unfortunately Federal and State Governments are not trained in fission and fusion so they don’t understand that nuclear reactors last 80 years and are maintenance free. Compared to wind and solar which need massive amounts of concrete and steel in the case of wind and last only 15 years and solar that last until the first golf ball size hailstorm and need constant maintenance and then only last about the same 15-25 years. The best example for Australian Governments to look at is the US Enterprise which was commissioned in the 1960’s and decommissioned in the 2000’s and in its entire life at sea only used 2kg of concentrate. A no brainer really but unfortunately there is no one educated in our Australia wide failed Labor government. All Anthony Albanese Labor has done is plunged millions of Australians into the worst cost of living crisis since the depression. This is despite the fact Australia has countless trillions in natural resources farmlands and technology. Investors once again left the Country when Labor got in. Liberals built the Australian civilisation and the very few times Labor get in they destroy it. As you can see our external debt is out of control.

Invest in Build Fusion energy generators Your talk is Nuclear (meaning only Fission) and fails to talk about fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising and innovative method of producing sustainable and clean energy. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage is increasingly real, as linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Annabel Crabb political analysis explains some of what is really behind the LNP's NPP policy. While most of us are pulling out our collective hair on the policy's technical and economic feasibility, Annabel highlights it's a gamble to disrupt the Labor government, grab the headlines, cut through and perhaps sway public opinion and the polls in the run up to the next federal election sometime before September 2025. "... He (Dutton) keeps a fairly low profile, and has built political capital among his colleagues by being consultative and concentrating his efforts on criticising the government's errors rather than making his own. Peter Dutton has taken every single chip he's amassed, and he's put the whole lot on yellowcake" Dutton, and other LNP NPP and emission targets delayers, will have to convince the rest of their party that this all makes sense to take to the election and cracks are already forming as the article highlights. Whilst NPP will (most likely) never get up in Australia, what this policy announcement does achieve is to muddle the waters and seriously undermine public and investor confidence in the clean energy transition .... perhaps that's the real objective and hence this both bad faith policy and bad faith politics? https://lnkd.in/gY2VEKhU
Peter Dutton has placed a staggering bet on his ability to sell Australians nuclear power — it's a huge gamble

To justify its power plant rules, the Biden EPA ignores 99% of the destructive costs of the transformation it’s mandating. This distortion of reality in pursuit of a radical agenda that Congress has never approved cannot be tolerated—it’s an assertion of coercive power by unelected regulators so anti-democratic that it verges on totalitarianism. https://lnkd.in/eY-TdxAD

Too big to fail? Who cares if there’s no accountability By David Salt Building big on big promises of endless clean energy ignores the limits of our institutions. It’s something rarely considered in the febrile, volatile environment of contemporary politics. We pull our leaders up on the smallest of inconsistencies but let them get away with the biggest of lies. When you next cast your vote, keep in mind that extraordinary promises require extraordinary accountability. https://lnkd.in/gugqMcK5
