Dutton reveals 7 sites for nuclear power plants

Peter Dutton reveals seven sites for proposed nuclear power plants

Peter Dutton has announced he will go to the next election promising to build seven nuclear power stations.

Mr Dutton has promised the first sites can be operational between 2035 and 2037, several years earlier than the timeframe the CSIRO and other experts believe is feasible.

As had been previously flagged, the stations are all on retiring or retired coal sites.

The seven sites are:

Tarong in Queensland, north-west of Brisbane

Callide in Queensland, west of Gladstone

Liddell in NSW, in the Hunter Valley

Mount Piper in NSW, near Lithgow

Port Augusta in SA

Loy Yang in Victoria, in the Latrobe Valley

Muja in WA, near Collie

Isn't nuclear power prohibited by law in Australia?

Proposed, thicko.  The operative word is proposed.


Propose, verb
1.
put forward (a plan or suggestion) for consideration by others.

Doesn't really seem like a vote winner.

Certainly not in the seven areas mentioned.

Not sure too many electorates will be lining up to accept the nuclear waste either.

And then there's the legislation which, as far as I'm aware, prohibits nuclear power.

Sounds like a good idea but wait -

What if we would have kept our enormous gas reserves for ourselves
instead of giving it away for rock bottom prices to countries overseas?
Would it have been enough to tide us over until
renewables could take their place?

1. The nuclear power prohibition is legislated. Just like all legislation, it can be repealed. If Dutton were to win the election, he would have a mandate to remove the prohibition.

2. The sites are proposed. Some of you talk about opposition to nuclear. A lot of people are in favour of it these days.

3. Australia will already have a site for nuclear waste. We will have it due to our nuclear submarines.

We will have 9 nuclear reactors by then... 8 nuclear submarines and Lucas Heights. There will be a nuclear waste facility.

Not the state legislation.

But it's much cleaner than coal and then why is it OK
for other countries to burn our gas?
