Peter Dutton’s nuclear energy plans have suffered a setback with the CSIRO estimating the nation’s first large-scale nuclear power plant could cost as much as $17 billion, and would not be operational until at least 2040.

With the Coalition now saying it will announce its nuclear plans by the end of the year, the CSIRO’s final annual GenCost report says the electricity would still cost one-and-a-half to twice as much as firmed renewable energy.

How much is it going to cost to build massive renewable energy power systems with enough excess capacity to provide baseload supply?

Let's do a proper comparison of the total costs.

I don't care what technology is used, people need cheaper energy.
