She didn't bother talking about safety because it really isn't an issue . Modern reactor design makes them quite safe when compared to the designs of old.
She also said that she was in favor of nuclear power in the right circumstances .
She is also an engineer in the energy space with around 20 years experience so l would say her opinion carries much more weight than your incoherent dribble.
" she touched on generic topics like cost, firming, baseload power that all have feasible alternatives "
What are those feasible alternatives btw ?
Here's some questions for you . Go ahead . Make my day .
1. How long would it take to get the legislation changed ? Give the recent referendum result l suspect it would take a very long time.
2. Once the legislation is changed how long would it take to establish a nuclear support industry similar to that of nuclear countries ?
3. How much would all that cost ?
4. Once all that is done, how long would it take to build one baseload nuclear power station ?
5. How much would that power station cost ?
6. Where would they get the water from ?
7. Which council or community in Australia would host a nuclear power station ? Considering that people are losing their minds at wind turbines that they can't see, how do you think you'd go building a nuke anywhere in Australia ?
8. Where will you store the toxic nuclear waste and used nuclear equipment for thousands of years ?
9. Who will pay for that storage and security for thousands of years ?
10. How would that nuclear power station compete in the market with renewables when mature coal fired power stations can't in 2023 ?
11. While we're waiting multiple decades for all that to happen what we do for electricity ?
