The discussion around the longevity and economics of nuclear power is complex. This article highlights that while the Coalition proposes nuclear plants with an 80-100 year lifespan, the international experience shows the average age of active reactors is 32 years, with none operating beyond 60. Given the significant challenges and costs, including long construction times and economic viability, it's crucial to champion renewable energy sources. Solar and wind power are advancing rapidly, providing scalable and cost-effective solutions. Embracing these technologies is essential for a sustainable and resilient energy future. #cleanenergy #renewables #augustamargaretriver #climateactionnow

The nuclear package is expected to speed up the timeline for licensing new nuclear reactors and cut fees that companies have to pay to do so. It also requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to put together a report that considers ways to simplify and shorten the environmental review process for such reactors. https://lnkd.in/gmJXy-wa

Sweden to start building new nuclear reactor by 2026: PM: Stockholm (AFP) Sept 27, 2024 Sweden will begin construction on a new nuclear reactor before the country's next legislative election in 2026, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said in an interview published on Friday. His right-wing coalition government, propped up by the far-right Sweden Democrats, has vowed to massively ramp up nuclear energy in Sweden but a formal decision on the type of reactor to be built has yet to be #nuclear #nuclearjobs
