    If renewables are as cheap as claimed, why are we subsidising them?

      Or, if nuclear is so much cheaper why doesn't Dutton come clean wuth his estimate of the costs to build nuclear reactors. And the rest of his plan as well thank you.

    Funny, about 10 years ago women were against nuclear, then power prices climbed and energy reliability declined and then they started to pay attention to facts over feels.
    There is going to be a fair bit of financial pain before we fix our energy sector, and our cheap power advantage is gone forever - at best we can get power price parity now.

    The type of nuclear reactor used in ships/submarines are called "Small Modular Reactors". The reactors the Libs are proposing for our cities are the same as the ones that will be floating in our harbours.

      That's a nonsense. The submarine reactors use highly enriched fuels usually very tightly controlled because they also can be used for weapons. The SMRs proposed by the Coalition don't even exist yet.

    Richo is clueless on nuclear. He says a small nuclear plant could power a city. Absolute rubbush. Why hasnt Dutton told us when we could expect a first nuckear plant and how much it would cost. He still refuses to say that. Dutton us a sleaze.

    • @GirtByIdiots

    • @evil17
      @evil17 10 часов назад +2

      There is a place for small nuclear plants but not for big cities. SMR’s could work for smaller outlying towns but we need GW Reactors at least to replace present generators.
      Dutton did give indications of costs early on when he first proposed nuclear, he said the first would cost about $16 billion dollars & each one thereafter would be about $8 billion dollars, that was a rough ballpark which could change somewhat, but still sounds heaps cheaper and more robust than their renewable fantasy that will break us into energy poverty.

    Fission nuclear power stations have the risk of leaking radioactive gases and other materials ether by accident or as a military target requiring large evacuation areas. Along with the nuclear fuel waste these are their major difficulties that no technology can completely eliminate. Modular nuclear reactors that fit on semi trailer and are intended to be swapped out in 24 hours for refueling back at the factory every three years or so likely still have to have an evacuation area around them. They are probably idea for large marine ocean navigation where they could be ejected in deep water if a critical issue develops. SMRs are much more expensive per MWh than traditional full scale nuclear power stations. Their advantage is they can be local eliminating transmission loss that can be over 50%.
    The large evacuation area around commercial fission nuclear power stations might compensate uses inside the evacuation area with electric rates based on the nuclear plant's cost of electricity plus normal profit. It would be lower than average electric rates. If the plant completely shutdowns for typical one month refueling and maintenance every 18 months to 2 years they'd lose that discount for the month. Most nuclear power stations are multiple unit where they never are completely shutdown. This allows everybody inside the evacuation area to benefit from their nuclear power plant and doesn't cost other rate payers. It's part of the cost of the nuclear power plant.

      😂😂😂 over 90% of the waste produced in modern nuclear plants is recycled and reused. On average, they produce less than a table spoon of waste that can not be recycled and reused. They are the cleanest and one of the safest forms of energy production in the world. Stop trying to scare people with data that is blatantly misleading and false

    I support nuclear over renewable. Labor renewable costing us $642 billions, and coalition nuclear will cost us around 7 to 17 billion dollars. Also, I lived near the callide areas, and most of the local residents i spoke to want nuclear over renewable. Renewable energy is destroying our beautiful countryside and wildlife habitats. It doesn't guarantee lower power bills, and they are not as reliable as u may think they are. Just recently, a Tesla battery caught on fire and lots of smoke to the local resident.

      "coalition nuclear will cost us around 7 to 17 billion dollars" total bullshit - although Dutton refuses to give any details. If we are really lucky , one reactor may cost $20 billion and take 20 years to build

      Nuclear waste is now reprocessed and used again and again and again. Waste is not an issue with the newer nuclear reactors, renewables however, well in 20 or so years we will have an environmental disaster over what to do with millions of solar panels and tens of thousands of turbine blades.

    • @evil17
      @evil17 10 часов назад +2

      Waste is not an issue, there is very little and it can be reprocessed, also we already have a waste facility installed by ANSTO that has not been used as yet.
      Most Nuclear Power Stations store most or all of their waste on site.
