Good on you Will, well done. Just got to hope for a change of government to one with an open mind.

I applaud Mr Paterson - common sense at last.

I’m most impressed with this young man with his passion for nuclear power for our country , I am unsure about nuclear, but I will look at the information presented and look at his fact sheets with a open mind . It’s great to see the youth making there contribution to our country , thank you Will 🇦🇺

I think broken Hill renewable,s is proof they DO NOT WORK , in stand alone operation once the base load is gone , they needed 14 big diesel generators to get the power back , 12+ days without power , what a bright future we have , not

Good on Ya Will, this is the type of opinion Albo the Muppets M.A.D laws will ban on social media, Congratulations on Finishing your studies, and we’ll done for your courage to face these questions with true conviction. MAGA( Make Albo Go Away)

One bomb from another country. We are screwed. They will be one chain reaction.

We already got the American fallout from their testing on our land . That is why Australia has the most skin cancers.

Nuclear kills humans and the eath😂😂😂😂. We have free energy all around us. And they don't want us to have it. All because of human corruption. The elite will control everything.

So what was their answer?

The Greens have been the most retrograde influence in Australia for at least 50 years. They are ignorant and uninformed and lie profusely if they feel it will give them a political edge with their dumb supporters.

Well done Will

The earthquake in Japan DID NOT cause the failure. The failure was caused by the tsunami wave and now that could never happen again.

What a brilliant young man❤❤

And a child shall lead the way ... to bankruptcy

Renewable should not be put on "prime ag land". There are plenty of locations that does not take away productive land.

Its infuriating Govt reps are criticising nuclear energy for the perceived problem of the time it takes for the Govt to approve building plans. It takes less than five years to build a reactor if you follow Japan's lead of standardising components for manufacturing. Not everything has to be bespoke engineering (expensive and slow).

If you voted Labor better have a good look at yourself as your not on the side of common sense rather extremist dangerous views

The UAE built FOUR nuclear power plants, the first was online in 7 years and all were online in a decade. The timeline is NOT a problem.

Will,, has more intelligence than all of this Labor Greens and Teals goverment put together , it's high time the ban on nuclear was lifted ,so we can have a better future with reliable electricity so Australia can prosper. Which will encourage more manufacturers to stay in Australia & for new investment to come in , it's in Australia's best intrest to incourage nuclear technology to open up now .

Nice work, just compare this well balanced, pragmatic and educated response compared to Bowens waffle and nonsense.

Bottom line is, lifting the ban to have proper discussions to use nuclear to provide a heat source to turn turbines as coal already does.

Why is it NO ONE is talking about subsidising Solar Battery storage for home owners with Solar ? Make batteries cheaper and people can go offline if they choose and take load off the grid, Seems visible its not rocket science. Oh wait the big conglomerates wont make money we cant have that can we.

Interesting that a strong 'anti-nuclear' person was chosen as the chair. Why couldn't they find someone in the middle?

What happens to the thousands of tons of waste from windtowers and solar panels they only last 20 t0 25 years where Nuclear is 80 to 100 years

Will I think you are amazing for an 18 year old to have researched nuclear and now campaigning for Australia to go forward with cheaper energy.Congratulations on graduating.Australia needs politicians to think like you.

Black out Bowen.....fingers in ears.....blah blah blah blah.

Well done Will.

Will! For PM please! A

The government needs to get their heads from out of the sand and embrace an open discussion on nuclear.

Will for Energy Minister you have my Vote

Well done Will.

The response to lifting the nuclear ban from some of our politicians has been scandalous - deliberately misleading, and yet they won’t be subject to the misinformation/disinformation bill they are supporting!

Congratulations Will - you were very articulate in responding to those questions and presented the case for removing the nuclear ban very well. Keep up the good fight.

Keep going mate, terrific effort!

The romance of nuclear for many A wet dream for a few old men. Facts. MWh from 3kg of uranium from 23tonne of uranium ore 3kg of uranium waste stored for 100years Australia grid electricity daily 25gW x 24hr is 600gWh x 365day is 220,000gWh maximum Max grid capacity. Is 10% of Australia's total energy used 25gW x 24hr is 10tonnes of uranium daily 7,000tonnes of uranium ore daily 10tonnes of radioactive uranium waste daily 2.5million tonnes of uranium ore yearly. 3,650 tonnes of radioactive uranium waste yearly 60years of production. 220million tonnes. Radioactive uranium waste. But the grid is extremely fragile and extremely expensive, $TRILLIONS, and electricity demand fluctuates 80%, impossible for nuclear electricity generation to follow. So nuclear promoters say 2% of Australia’s total energy to be nuclear and safe. But if 98% is not nuclear then 100% no nuclear is perfect.

Thanks Will for all your hard work and insight in bringing this to the people, you are amazing.

Will Shackel still does not understand the entire economic/social/security/industrial/atmospheric benefits of a nuclear power industry which can be far greater than all other existing sources of electrical energy generation and distribution. With nuclear power true carbon neutrality can be achieved and even a NETT NEGATIVE effect upon atmospheric carbon levels. In addition it could even vastly improve our country's balance of payments and export volumes across the entire spectrum of agriculture and manufacturing. To achieve a real NETT ZERO we need electrical power generation at levels beyond our current plans or the existing grid. Rather then adding additional generation to the grid in peak times it is better to simply balance the load demand between the consumer requirements and the remaining "COST/balance load" users. Cost users are government run desalination plants, (drought proofing the country or even greening it to provide more agricultural land as well as the water input for a synthetic oil industry that uses the waste biological carbon from increased agriculture and water the excess electricity generation). This synthetic hydrocarbon fuel would be carbon neutral because the atmospheric carbon cycle is closed. The main benefit would be to citizens who can drive ICE cars, use IC Air travel and Standard carbon fuel burning maritime transport FOREVER if necessary. Renewable power systems are fraught with high cost, short MTBF, large ecological footprint, lack of local manufacturing support, and a degree of fragility in harsh environments. The current electrical power generation model is over a century old and the idea of generating just enough to meet peak demand is based upon the maximum efficiency of a thermal power generation plant. A nuclear plant can be run at maximum efficiency with the excess power generated being used for environmental and societal needs which of course can be regulated through load shedding which is what the industrial and domestic customers suffer from when the grid is operating over its maximum capacity. As for the idea of a few massive power stations supplying our electricity needs, it is fine for the initial conversion of the existing power stations but from there the country would greatly benefit from large numbers of SMRs "MESHED" across the country which would massively decrease the requirement and cost of the "Poles and wires" which are effectively a redundant requirement, (DEAD MONEY/COST) with a fully meshed electricity grid system. (The mesh approach is best explained using the cellular phone service distribution model).

I think this child needs to extend his reading, particularly about renewable energy, and not an old 20th century technology. In other words, he is irrelevant.

HEAR HEAR 👏👏👏

Rip into the zealots Will. When Xi says other leaders should be like UPGRADE ALBO that tells me he is not leading this country for Aussies, treasonous.

Well said 🎉🎉 Right here ladies and gentlemen is the difference between reality and politics. Will lives in reality and presents facts, while our professional politicians can only present emotional senseless rhetoric. I would like to see unemployment rise with politicians. They are not for the people, they are only there for themselves.

Well articulated. Will. Good to see the younger generation, your generation getting behind energy policy and why nuclear needs to be an important component of the energy mix. Not to mention nuclear assisting with de-carbonising. For a country that has been a world leader in many fields, it seems incomprehensible that our government is desperately trying to shut this debate down and remain in the pockets of the renewables industry. When you stick your head in the sand that simply leaves your ar$e exposed. Keep up this important work Will. Cheers

Go Will your a little champion

Well said mr paterson, who cares if it takes a year or two longer, it’s a step in the right direction! The only counter argument is it might take awhile to do, change takes time.

This 18yr old makes more sense than all those in front of him.

URANIUM ORE are needed to generate a MWh in a nuclear plant? Modern nuclear power plants operate on enriched uranium fuel. A surprisingly small amount of fuel is required to generate a great deal of electricity but it did not start out that way. Enriched fuel is created from uranium concentrate (U308 or "yellowcake") which itself is made from uranium ore. Only 6.8 pounds (3kg) of enriched uranium fuel is required to generate a gigawatt hour of electricity. But, to get that fuel, you need to start with ore that is 7,000 times larger, or almost 50,000 pounds of uranium ore to create the fuel for 1 Gwh of electricity. 23 tonnes uranium ore for 1 GWh of electricity Australia 25gW x 24hr is 600GWh daily. 23 tonnes x 600gWh is 14,000 tonnes daily. 365 is 5,000,000 tonnes per year 23t x 24hr x 25gW x 365 = 5,000,000 tonnes year For 10% of Australia’s total energy useage. And no population growth. x 10 for 100% of Australia’s energy 50,000,000 tonnes every year plus population growth. 6,600 tonnes of uranium waste. No problems here, Sarcasm alert. 😮

well done mate. one point when asked about the grid upgrades for nuclear you could of said it would be less then cost of linking in renewables, considering that replacing coal with nuclear would be done mostly at sights with pre existing grid connections and any upgradesshould simply replace what is there without the need for taking more land. as for the NIMBY's discount their power they'll shut up quick, but only doit for people that perexist planing for the nuclear plant, to stop people cashing in.

Australia should expand its national grid capacity to the 20million users as only 10% of Australia’s energy usage is grid electricity. Happy days. 😊

If the labor party was serious about energy supply they would lift the ban on nuclear energy. Then these questions these labor hacks would be able would be answered

Uranium is dense but the grid to the customers is dispersed. I million km to 20million customers. The grid value at replacement cost or expansion costs is at $millions km. $TRILLIONS but is limited to transmitting only 25gW. This is only 10% of Australia’s total energy useage. Nuclear can not ramp down and load follow the grid demand. So nuclear promoters are saying only 2% of Australia’s energy usage can be possible as the grid ramps down 80%. Distant renewables have grid maximum limitations of 25gW Blackouts can be caused by over supply and under demand. Rooftop PV on the 20million roofs and the replacement of the 20million vehicles with battery vehicles, EVs, with v2g and their oversized battery and parked 23hrs every day is a perfect combination that can protect the national electrical grid. The grid itself is a $ TRILLIONS investment that the owners need customers $100sBILLIONS cashflow every year. Customers abandoning the grid electricity is a disaster for the owners and investors. This is the real problem. A small bit of nuclear electricity is an economic disaster and has no benefit stopping CO2 emissions worldwide and in Australia. Distant renewables have the same economic problem. Grid owners are terrified of lost cashflow and so increasing electricity costs to their remaining customers.
