The Coalition's nuclear power plan misses one key component:

the cost

Such as... reducing carbon emissions.

No, of building and operating a nuclear reactor. Unsub. Are you really that stupid? I forget, you're from Queensland, aren't you? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Queenslanders have greater reputations for intelligence than that of some woke Westralian who virtue signals any left-wing agenda.

It will be quite an expense in building and operating a nuclear reactor. But the benefits of no longer having large quantities of carbon emissions from coal-fired power stations would far outweigh the initial costs.

Brilliant the Hunter area have earthquakes - just what nuclear plants need most. This is the Dutton level of competence on view.

If my rickety house ready to fall over can survive a 4.9 magnitude earthquake, I would be sure that a modern nuclear power plant would be able to handle a 7.0 (or greater).

Tallawarra B gas generator finally ready for the grid, just in time for cold snap

EnergyAustralia’s new gas-fired power station, Tallawarra B, in Wollongong is finally operational after a long commissioning period that started in February.

The $300 million, 320 megawatt (MW) facility – the first gas fired generator to enter the NSW grid in a decade – first joined the grid last last year and was formally opened in early February, and was expected to be fully commissioned within weeks.

“On the coldest of winter days, New South Wales typically requires all generating assets running to ensure system reliability,” said EnergyAustralia managing director Mark Collette.

With coal assets retiring, we know Tallawarra B’s role will be an important one in keeping the lights on for homes and businesses in the state over the coming years.

yes - we have plenty of gas that we give away to other countries and
we have top quality anthracite coal in the Bowen basin in QLD.
Both have low emissions and we're happy to sell them to other countries
to burn as much as they want - go figure?

Renewables achieve that without the cost or the need for long-lasting waste. Queenslanders seem fixated on the high-tech answer to the problem. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

lol ,

we are going to be burning fossil fuels for a long time

every new suburb on brisbane urban fringe has zero public transport

my son the sparkie tells me plugging in your car at night to recharge draws TWICE the amps of the rest of your house combined.

now what if you have a wife and 2 kids at home with cars ?

8 x the power needed

at NIGHT

when the sun dont shine Grin

when the people in the burbs cant get mobile, the economy will DEMAND a return to reliable fossil fuels

GOVERNMENT KNOW THIS

DONT BE A SUCKER AND BELIEVE THEIR LIES
