Bahaha of course i'll take their "opinion" Daniel - literally one of the most credible sources for looking at Australia.
"Renewables remain the cheapest new-build electricity generation option in Australia, although inflation and supply chain disruptions will likely put cost reductions on hold for the next year, CSIRO’s annual GenCost report has found."

Actually I did look into the full report that you posted, you obviously didn't as your pasted summary points are from the abridged summary (the above source)
Their assumptions about technology are probably the best in Australia.
Wonder why they didn't include large scale reactors? Cause it's not going to happen in Oz
As the full report outlines, SMR are nowhere near a commercial viability (decades away)
And I will correct you on the $7000/kw as it's actually $7900/kw as per the full report...
Nice little graph for you here to see cost/Kw - take care to read it correctly champo - look at nuclear SMR!

The funny thing is mate, that Australia is going to continue to increase the amount of renewables electricity generation.
Whether you like it or not, that's the way it is going.
And why wouldn't we when it's the cheapest new build electricity option in Australia
