Nuclear energy's true cost hidden by Australian ban: Will Shackel

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 18 сен 2023
  • Nuclear for Australia's Will Shackel says critics of nuclear energy "can't understand" the cost of it until the ban is lifted.
    He argues that the government's justification for the ban based on costs is inconsistent, pointing out that if expenses were the main concern, solar panels and Snowy Hydro would have been banned in the past.
    Shackel also notes that even Tesla would face bans by such logic.
    "It just makes no sense to me," Will Shackel told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
    "I think if the government wants to work out the economics of nuclear energy, the first thing they have to do is to lift the ban."

      Instead you want the least efficient and most expensive. Take subsidies away and the renewable industries of Solar and Wind become uneconomical and it is you and me subsidising them every day my friend.
      I have solar yet still pay nearly $1500 a year supply charge simply for being connected to the grid. And I am one of the lucky ones as I pay nothing for electricity myself. Some families are paying $4000+ per year sir to appease Mr Bowen.
      This has risen $1100 since I installed solar and my feed in has dropped from 22 cents/kwh to 9cents/kwh.

      Two AP1000 units also are under construction at the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant near Waynesboro, Georgia. Construction at Vogtle has been bogged down by numerous delays and rising costs. In December project engineers told the Georgia Public Service Commission Vogtle Unit 3 wouldn’t meet the completion range of July 2022 to September 2022 set by Georgia Power, who shares ownership of the project. Engineers told state regulators a more accurate completion target might be November 2022 to February 2023. They said Unit 4 may not come online until sometime in late-2024.

      Now, been many years since I was at school but am sure $50Bn or even $380BN is substantially less than $1.5TRILLION so if Bowen believes we can afford $1.5TRILLION how is $50BN - $380Bn too expensive? Surely Trillion is more than billions or did I miss something in my old math classes?
