Nuclear power scared me. Dirty and unsafe. I watched a Netflix doco on Bill Gates. Very informative. He has put a huge amount of $ into developing a clean and very safe nuclear power station. It sounds very interesting. A safety feature is that the cooling system uses a liquid that boils at a higher temp than what it takes to have a meltdown so in theory no meltdowns. Another great feature is that it can be powered by the waste from current power stations. They stated that there is enough waste in the USA to power his NPS for about 200 years. It stated that they were about to build a plant in China when Trump started the tarif war with China which stopped that going ahead.
Problem here in Oz seems to be that they cost too much to build.
I just read an article by JL in which he stated that if Oz did one more step in processing the Titanium we export that would have added $13.5 billion extra to our export earnings.
We may be the lucky country but I wish we were the much smarter country as well.
